"Justin" Chestnut Gelding All Rounder

A genuine, experienced all-rounder who has spent the last eight years in the same loving home.

This much-loved gelding has enjoyed a varied life including hacking, schooling, dressage, show jumping, cross-country, fun rides and pleasure rides. He previously worked in a riding school and has spent the last eight years being a trusted partner and family horse.

He hacks confidently in company and has many miles of real-world experience. He is accustomed to country lanes, busy roads, fast-moving traffic, tractors, lorries, bridges and a wide variety of riding environments. He is happy to lead or follow on hacks, has completed evening and night rides, and has experience leading other horses from horseback.

He enjoys getting out and about, whether that's a quiet hack, exploring new routes, paddling through streams, schooling, popping fences or having a good canter across open ground. He has taken part in local dressage and has happily been ridden and handled by sensible younger riders.

A kind, affectionate horse with a big personality and plenty of character. He enjoys human interaction, loves fuss and attention, and forms strong bonds with the people around him. Intelligent and engaging, he thrives on a good partnership with his rider and has spent the last eight years being a much-loved part of the family.

He has no stable vices and is good to catch, load, travel, clip, shoe and handle. Lives in or out and is used to a varied routine.

Up to date with vaccinations, worming and dental care, and will be sold with a fresh set of shoes. Ready to move to his new home.

A substantial wardrobe of rugs and equipment will accompany him to his new home. Available as a fully equipped package, including quality tack, rugs and accessories.

His long-term companion, a 17.2hh Irish Sport Horse gelding, may also become available. While it is not essential for them to remain together, homes interested in both horses would be welcomed.

This is a very difficult sale after eight years of ownership, and finding the right home is far more important than achieving a quick sale.
