Flynn is 9 years young and an absolute gentleman. I backed him myself with the help of a friend and brought him on slowly, so he is low milage. He has all the ground work under his belt and is ready to choose his career path. He would make an exceptional hunter, xc or show horse, he has that elusive 5th leg. He was bought as a HOYS potential but will turn his hand to anything. He loves to jump and play in water and just wants to please.
· Hacks alone or in company
· Easy to lung (has free lunged in the past not allowed at current yard)
· Easy to load, shoe, clip and catch. He comes to the gate
· Front feet shod only every 8ish weeks
Flynn is a kind-hearted Cob that does not have a bad bone in his body. He is snaffle mouthed and works very nicely on the flat. Well balanced, expressive paces, I think he will excel in a range of disciplines as stated above. This boy has presence and comes top 3 in-hand for cob and best condition classes every time.
He hacks out well around roads, on grass and in open spaces, alone or in company, happy in front or behind and is fantastic in traffic. If there ever was a bombproof horse it is him.
Up to date with vacc’s and teeth. Will turn out with mares or geldings or happy to be alone as he is currently. He’s a big, well built boy and rides nicely forward off the leg, He has been known to take the mick out of soft riders but hates being told off so this is easily fixed. Works well to voice commands also.
He loves to work and is happiest in a regular routine. It really is hard to fault this sweet natured chap. It’s an incredibly tough decision to let him go so only this most suitable, kind and knowledgeable home is sought after.
He has an extensive wardrobe including a beautiful Fylde saddle, which can be negotiated with price. Open to any vetting.
What you need to know. Flynn needs to bond with his rider. He can take the piss. His is not naughty but does need a firm rider until be builds his trust.
He had a minor issue with his stifles when he was 5. He has not had a problem since. He is a long horse and still growing so benefits from regular physio and stretching. Currently has physio every 6 months with Holden Equine.
He also had a few sarcoids which were successfully treated and have not return again when he was 5.
Whilst he is easy to clip you do have to take your time with is ears and front left foot but as long as you are patient it is not a problem.
