Description
King by name and definitely our yard royalty too, everyone adores him!!
16hh, 13yo, ROR eligible TB Gelding
No vices - as sweet as you could wish for. Perfect to catch, load , travel, shoe , clip , tack up, bath etc - easy as can be for any member of the family to see to
Hacks alone or in company in the heaviest of traffic!! Will go upfront or slot in behind. Mannerly in open spaces , stands like a rock to mount , a very reliable horse to have on any yard , sure to be a favourite where ever he goes! Truly defining the ‘happy hacker’ terminology
Works beautifully on the flat. Very flashy and well schooled with super paces and drops into a natural outline making a beautiful shape. Has previously done plenty of unaffiliated showing and dressage and done well either a 13 year old child. Working in the arena is something he very much enjoys. Is forward going and keen to work so is not for a novice or someone wanting a kick along as he is not that. However , that said, he is totally straightforward, safe , reliable , and vice free
Absolutely LOVES to jump!! Will jump anything and everything off any stride etc! Such a helpful and honest chap who’s got more red ribbons to his name than I could ever list. Plenty of unaffiliated show jumping under his belt , he certainly knows and loves the job. Competed to 90/1m
A machine again out cross country and funrides. Will jump anything you point him at and really loves these kind of days out. Does get keen and excited so again not for a novice however as above , totally straightforward and vice free
Hunted well and also loves that job
To summarise , he is a total legend of a horse!!
Being 13 and had a successful career , he does have some wear and tear. Nothing to be of any significance or affect him being fit for purpose however has been pin fired in his younger days and has a slightly sticky stifle which has never affected him. Does do better living out just due to this. He is open to any inspection and this is reflected in his price. Sound and ready to go.
