FOR SALE: NOA - 16.1hh | 7-year-old | KWPN | Gelding | £45,000
Location: Ashington, West Sussex
Noa is a flashy and talented gelding with three expressive, flashy paces and an exceptional temperament, he is an absolute pleasure to train and ride.
He’s well established on the flat and is confident with leg yield, shoulder-in, medium trot and canter, counter canter, walk to canter, and rein back. He is currently training travers, half pass, walk pirouettes, simple changes and flying changes, he has a great attitude for learning and is developing quickly.
Over a fence, Noa has a careful, scopey jump and a lovely, round bascule. He gives a fantastic feeling and is athletic, careful and honest.
Noa truly shines cross-country, he’s bold, brave, and intelligent. He jumps everything in front of him with confidence and class, treating complex, spooky questions like a set of plain logs. He is rideable and careful. In his entire eventing career, he’s only had two 20s, both down to rider error (going too quick!) during a combination. He’s currently being ridden in an eggbutt snaffle across all three phases.
He’s a lovable, playful character with an eager-to-please attitude and a heart of gold. Noa is extremely sound with excellent feet and legs, has no medical history or injuries, and hasn’t taken a lame step in the four years I’ve owned him. I bought him as a 3-year-old direct from the breeder, so his full history is known.
We run a rehabilitation yard so he sees the physio/chiro fortnightly and regularly goes on the water treadmill. No stone has been left unturned in his care for the last 4 years.
He comes from top breeding lines, he’s a ¾ brother to my 4* eventer, and his full brother is competing at top-level dressage in the USA.
Noa would be a fantastic partner for a competitive Junior or Young Rider aiming for 2* and 3* in the near future. He’s competed at BE Novice level but, having just missed out on the top 10 placings, remains eligible for grassroots. He’s currently starting his 2025 season at BE100 to give potential buyers the opportunity to ride at grassroots if he were purchased now. He will be stepping back up to Novice shortly.
Noa has numerous top 10 placings at BE100 and is well established at Novice level, ready to be competitive this season.
Noa is perfect to shoe, clip, load, travel, hack on the road and in open spaces and is good alone or in company.
10* home is very important for this special horse. I am gutted to be selling him but I have to run this as a business and I can’t keep them all.
