Dan is a handsome 17hh, 13-year-old gelding looking for his next home. A real stamp of a horse with plenty of substance, he has previously enjoyed a varied riding club life, taking part in dressage, showjumping, fun rides and lots of hacking. We are told he particularly enjoyed hacking and this was his main job in his previous home.
Dan has been out of work due to his owner's circumstances after having a baby, but he has returned to work without any issues. He is a straightforward, genuine horse to handle, good in all ways and easy to have around. He lives happily in or out, is barefoot, and is up to date with vaccinations, dentist and farrier.
He trained but never raced, has been named, and remains fully RoR eligible.
Please note Dan would be very unlikely to pass a vetting as he is loud in the wind when cantering and jumping - although this does not affect him in any way. He also has an unusual walk where he places one foot in front of the other under saddle. It feels slightly unusual to ride at first, but he has always done this and it does not affect his ridden work or make him feel unsafe.
He has hacked down a main road here and passed motorbikes, cyclists, dogs, cars and lorries without issue
Dan is offered at a reduced price before we have a chance to further his assessment and produce lots of up-to-date videos. Previous home videos are available on request. He is in work here and can be tried here

A lovely, honest horse who has plenty to offer someone looking for a quality riding club or hacking partner at a sensible price.
