"Dernier Souffle " Bay Gelding All Rounder

16.3hh TB gelding

12 years old

Stable Name: Kevin

Very sad sale due to a change in circumstances. I’ve owned Kevin for the past 8 years, so this is a very difficult decision. I’m looking for the best home where he can go and do a job.

Kevin has done a bit of everything over the years including dressage, showjumping, XC and fun rides. Works in a lovely contact with 3 balanced paces and has previously competed in dressage with good results.

Cross country is where he really comes into his own. He’s brave, genuine and absolutely loves it. He has plenty of scope over a fence and has comfortably jumped bigger tracks in the past. Showjumping hasn’t been my focus for a number of years, so he hasn’t competed recently, but he has all the ability and would suit someone wanting to bring him back on in this area. The showjumping photos include are from previous summers to show his ability, as he is currently only in light jumping work at home.

Kevin is a bigger-built Thoroughbred with a lovely topline and is an excellent doer. He carries his condition well and is regularly mistaken for a Warmblood.

Kevin has exceptional ground manners and is an absolute pleasure to have around. He’s incredibly polite and easy to handle—you can bathe him loose without a headcollar and he’ll happily stand without moving. Tell him to wait in his stable and he’ll stand quietly at the door while you disappear to make a cup of tea. He’ll even spin in a circle on command when it’s dinner time! He really is a big, lovable dope to handle.

Good to catch, shoe, clip, load, travel and for the dentist. Hacks alone and in company and is bomb proof in all road and farm traffic.

Kevin thrives on a routine. With regular work and plenty of turnout he’s a lovely, straightforward horse. If he’s out of consistent work, he can become fresh, so he is best suited to a competent rider who will keep him in regular
