"Deposit Taken " Palomino Gelding Dressage Horse

Homebred 15.3hh Palomino Gelding - Welsh x Hannovarian AES Registered. Rising 11 yrs.

This horse is grass intolerant and needs grass free management throughout the grazing season. High sugar grass causes him to have hind gut acidosis. Turns out in the winter as normal, when the grass is low sugar. Ideally suit someone with a turnout pen, surfaced track etc. I have him on hard standing with a field shelter & a bare patch of ground in the summer. Good on hay or Hayledge. No treatment or supplements needed, he’s a very good doer, just needs to be kept grass free.

Super smart palomino gelding. By a Sec D stallion and out of an Espri Hannovarian mare. Big movement. Deep body - really takes up the leg.

Loves dressage, unfortunately it’s not my favourite thing, and I’ve eventually come to the hard decision that he is someone’s dream horse, but unfortunately not mine. Loads of potential to progress that I’ve not pursued. Equally would make a very eye catching show horse. Currently wasted at home just hacking and going in the arena occasionally (although he’s happy with that 🤣).

Hacks alone and in company, not a fan of big/fast traffic. Doesn’t like jumping (I do 🤣). Low mileage for his age due to us just having different interests! Has had professional dressage schooling and can go beautifully. Canter can still be a bit big/unbalanced when he’s unfit (which he is now).

Has done bits of everything over the years, been to clinics, fun rides, the odd show, beach, hacked everywhere etc.

Not a dobbin, so no novices. But has been ridden by various riders with different abilities/confidence levels. Is clever enough to start taking the mick after a while if someone lets him get away anything! Can need a rider confident enough to reassure him occasionally - in new situations etc.

Not shod, has feet like iron. Straightforward in all ways - good to box, clip, farrier, catch etc etc. Stands all day to be pampered and fussed with. Up to date with everything. He gets on with other horses well, and doesn’t worry if he’s left behind on his own etc.

Please WhatsApp for videos.

I would love a one to one home for him. Please get in touch with any questions - home is of the most importance. No dealers please. Please don’t waste either of our time if you do not have a suitable set up/facilities for him.
