Spotty is a wonderful 16.1hh ISH gelding. He is ID x- by Baltydaniel Silverflight (fast silver) renowned for passing a superb temperament to offspring- which he has in bags.
Spotty was purchased as a just backed 3yo and has been an old head on young shoulders from day dot. He has never stopped or said no at anything ever, he always has a can do attitude and if he’s unsure just tried his heart out. He has never bucked, reared, napped - and can be left weeks without being ridden and picked back up again without bother.
Spotty is good to hack, alone or in company. He’s brilliant in traffic- farm traffic, cars and bikes etc. He isn’t spooky or silly. He is perfect in open space and won’t have a buck or mess about in company.
Spotty has trail hunted with the Fernie and with bloodhounds and behaved immaculately. He stands at the meet and is very civilised. He is bold to jump rails or hedges. He is a substantial horse with good strong limbs and good feet and isn’t bothered by wet going!
Spotty has been to numerous competitions. He has been arena eventing several times, and has competed in several BE80 (UA) around offchurch, rolleston and Aston le walls to name a few. He always scores low 30Dr and always jumps clear xc- he has had the odd 4 faults as any young horse jumping on grass can have in the sj!
He is flash in the dr boards and the judges love his elastic paces and natural uphill frame- he has bags of presence. He is genuine, careful and easy to sj, bold over ALL fillers. He romps around the xc and all you need to do is aim between the flags!
On the flat Spots has a lovely soft mouth, he is reactive off the leg and gives a v enjoyable ride. You don’t need to kick and scrub along. He has a very big impressive canter and is still quite weak containing it, he finds moving side ways very easy. For this reason we have not done a huge amount of lateral work, so as not to teach him to wizz about sideways rather than learn to contain his movement in a straight line.
He has no health issues, clean limbed, vice free. He loads and travels on ifor Williams 511, 3.5 tonne lorry and a HGV lorry. He has regularly had the dentist and physio, good to shoe, bath, needs a twitch to pull his mane. Good to clip- twitch to do his head.
Not suitable for a total novice as he is a sensitive enough ride and probably wouldn’t love someone flailing around all over the show on him! He is SUPER SAFE. He did all his first days hunting and early events while I was pregnant and was a total poppet. This is a very highly thought of horse and homes will be vetted. Total one of a kind unicorn in person and picture!
