"Bentley" Grey Gelding All Rounder
A much-loved and genuine all-rounder looking for his next home after 5 wonderful years with us. He has given both of our girls endless fun and confidence and is now ready to do the same for another family.
Although he holds a life height certificate at 14.2, he measures closer to 15.1, making him a perfect step-up between pony and horse.
18 years young – and certainly doesn’t act his age - he knows his job and looks after his rider.
Handled regularly by children – kind and easy to manage. Can ride and lead.
Hacks confidently alone or in company. Great with traffic / farm machinery / loud noises.
Our girls have competed regularly at pony club and NSEA comps. Lots of rosettes and qualifications.
Jumps comfortably up to 90cm and enjoys his jumping
Lovely dressage test – has scored 70% at Novice level
XC with pony club and various rallies
Good to lunge and on the Pessoa
Easy to catch and handle
Lives happily with both mares and geldings
Full history known, with contact with previous owner
He is a genuine, fun horse who has been a huge part of our family and is ready to give someone else just as much enjoyment.
A Few Minor Points (as no horse is perfect!):
Prefers travelling in a lorry or herringbone trailer
Can be a little reluctant to load in a forward facing trailer, but manageable with encouragement (previous owner had a trailer)
Doesn’t like being left alone in the stable when others are turned out
Had hocks injected last year – may need doing again in future, though our vet is very happy with him
Previously had a melanoma removed (common in grey horses)
For clipping, we give a mild sedation mainly for around the head – not always essential, but makes the process quicker and stress-free. I have videos of clipping with and without sedation.
Located in West Sussex
Sold with bridle, girth, rugs, etc.
Saddle (purchased for just under £2,000 last year) available by separate negotiation
A truly special horse who has been a pleasure to own. Finding the right home is our absolute priority.
