Full up 16.1hh, rising 7 year old, chestnut, gelding by Pointilliste (TB), dam sire Coevers Diamond boy (ISH)
Finn is the perfect horse for someone looking for a bold, straightforward, talented, and super fun jumper to produce up the Eventing levels. He is an unfailingly honest and genuine horse who is sure to give his new rider lots of success!
He is a straight and attractive mover who works well on the flat. Good lateral work and coming along nicely with his medium paces, simple changes etc...
Finn is a forward thinking ride with a light mouth and well-balanced paces. He loves to have a job to do and is a pleasure to train.
To date, Finn has mainly competed BS (both in Ireland and the UK) as this was his owners preferred discipline. He has 208 BS points, and in a few short months, he helped his competitively inexperienced 17 year old rider to move from 80cm to Newcomers, achieving lots of double clears along the way. He is a careful, scopey jumper who is quick and clever with his legs and is not fussed when having to help out from the occasional missed stride. Looking to have plenty of scope to progress up from his current level.
Finn is XC schooled, and although this is not something his current rider has done competitively with him, she has had great fun and success taking him XC schooling with her school. He is a lovely forward but polite ride in open spaces. We have recently taken him for a school around the course at Larkhill, flagged after their BE event, and he popped straight around a mixture if the 90 and 100 tracks as if he had been out Eventing last week!
Finn is a wonderfully forward thinking, bold boy with plenty of blood in his breeding. He is also really consistent and trainable in all 3 disciplines. Beacuse of this we really feel that Eventing is where his true competitive talents will be in the future. He is fit and would be ready for some runs immediately.
Good to hack both alone and in company. Good in all of the country lane traffic we have met with him. 100% box, shoe, clip, catch etc...
Up to date with jabs, teeth, physio and recently passed general vet check.
Same home from a 5 year old and only for sale now due to A level commitments and future gap year plans.
Not suitable for a nervous or novice rider as he is a talented horse who loves his work. Entirely suitable for a confident, ambitious adult or young rider looking for a partner to be competitively successful with.
Passed a 5 stage vetting this week with flying colours, however x-rays showed that he has one close vertebrae. There are no bony changes on the x-ray, and there is no indication that this currently affecting him. Price has been reduced accordingly and he is open to reasonable offers. All other x-rays are clean.
