ISO a schoolmaster type prioritising temperament and safety above talent to do low-level dressage and hacking.
Gelding preferred, 8-13yrs, 16hh max. Absolutely no vices and quirks. Open to some reasonable medical maintenance as long as disclosed.
Reasonably healthy budget for deserving horse.
Open to various levels of schooling as long as established in 3 basic paces and snaffle ridden. My trainer can take over the next stages of training and further education. The main thing is the forgiving nature to give confidence and look after his rider.
I want to appeal to horse owners who may be reluctant to highlight or mention the docile qualities of their horse as the main selling point. I suspect highlighting such qualities tends to deter buyers willing to spend good money or offer an experienced home. After all, talent and proven capability are ultimately what is judged and rewarded during tests.
I am after what some might call lazy but I look at it as simply opting for the easy life. Some call it boring and dull but I characterise it as predictable and steady. I don't mind a little bit of nudging as long as he is kind and genuine. I don't want a horse that is guaranteed to win rosettes and to go up the levels because they are almost always too sharp and strong for me. World beaters or those with exceptional talent need not apply.
I am appealing specifically to private horse owners who know their horses like no one else and have years of partnership to back up their claims.
Please get in touch by sending me a whatsapp at 07442254052 if you think your horse is ready for his next home.
I am a sympathetic, lightweight rider trained in a classical way who is able to devote time and resources to provide the best training, care and upkeep for my horse in a zero pressure, relaxed environment.
It will be kept on full livery at a smart and professionally run, specialist dressage yard with a qualified and highly respected British Dressage trainer for 1:1 support.
Please whatsapp 07442 254052. I'm happy to send videos of myself riding and details of my trainer and yard.
