Description

Can sell with tack at an extra cost. Barney is a head turning, handsome, 9-year-old ex-racehorse gelding, 16'1 hh with a kind heart and lots of potential. This is a very emotional sale for me and he will only go to an amazing home. He’s sound with no health issues. Barney is excellent for the Farrier, the Dentist the physio, vaccinations literally everything. The Farrier commented that Barney is the best he's shod in a long time. Under saddle, Barney moves well in all three paces—walk, trot, and canter—with a nice, forward trot and good responsiveness. He stops well when asked and is quick to learn. We have been doing several lessons weekly overseen by an instructor. Barney is such a quick learner and the flatwork is coming along beautifully. His trot is always acknowledged as elegant. He enjoys being ridden, especially in company, and is confident hacking with others. While he sometimes naps or hesitates when ridden alone, on other occasions he hacks perfectly solo— but he often prefers company. Barney can spook at times, which may cause him to momentarily brace, but he is safe and has never done anything dangerous with it at all! Barney takes confidence from his rider. He is steady in the arena and comfortable over poles and small jumps, approaching obstacles carefully and thoughtfully. Barney has a sensitive side and sometimes needs encouragement to keep moving forward, especially when ridden alone. He can be cautious with new or unfamiliar things and prefers the company of other horses when out hacking. On the ground, he enjoys attention and grooming but can be a bit assertive at times, so a confident handler is best. He’s very good with feet, relaxed being showered, and unbothered by everyday noises like cars and sprinklers. Barney gets along well with his herd mates and is generally a gentle soul. Easy to catch! Barney is best suited to a knowledgeable rider with patience and experience, who can continue building his confidence and enjoy his many positive qualities. Above all, Barney is a loving horse who thrives on affection, enjoys being fussed over, and has a wonderful nature that shines through. A good home is a must. Open to vettings. Serious enquiries only. Based Parley.
