Taffy - 17.1hh Heavyweight Irish Type Gelding 13yo
Weight carrying type. Sensible sort. Wow !! Find me another one of these beautiful boys !!
Taffy has been in the same home the last ten years so we know plenty and plenty more about him. His sale is a heartbreaking one and we have made a promise to find him the best new home.
Schools very well on the flat - having most recently been liveried at an equestrian centre he's wanted for no opportunity to pop in the arena for a piece of work
Jumping he is confident and Very capable around a course of coloured fences. Currently schooling around 80cm due to previous jockey comfort limitations and not at all a reflection of his capability (her words not ours)
Loves loves loves XC & fun rides. This is his favourite ! He loves being out and about and adventuring. He been used to take out and attend events alone and in company.
Has hunted and had a great presence on the hunt field. I can defiantly see a future for him in this sphere.
A gentlemen to groom, tack up and be around in the stable. We are told he falls asleep to be clipped - infact it was his favourite day of the year. Who doesn't love an easy one to clip
Great to hack not nappy although like most horses the occasional elephant and the mouse situation may arise when he's not in full work - normally this as a result of a flappy crisp packet yet the buses lorry's and huge queue of busy traffic are easy work. Over all a level headed type you wouldn't have to worry about. Hacks alone and in company and doesn't get strong or silly in open spaces
Snaffle mouthed. Not one to buck or rear and never bolted
Loads himself into a trailer and lorry. Travels perfectly and comes off bone dry and usually looking for a little snack as a reward for being such a good boy.
Great with the farrier - we are told he can sometimes fidget with back feet when being shod so is normally given 1.5ml Domesedan Gel just for the farriers benefit / hes a big lump of a lad and leaning and moving and make for some sweaty work.
He's not one to kick or get nervous / silly so likely other farriers will just carry on with him as he is in future. Equally he's happy to go bare foot or simply shod in front. (Always Perfect to trim behind)
Perfect to catch and happy to turn out with mares and geldings.
Taff is a big boy so whilst he is very quiet laid back and sensible he does needs a slightly more than novice home.
Currently unfit and rather tubby but in work and loving lots of fuss and attention.
Has had his hocks medicated previously. No other medical history. No sweet itch sarcoids etc
Wormed and vaccinated to date
Open to any vet inspection and viewings
