"Teddy" Bay Gelding All Rounder

Teddy🧸 17.1 Irish Thoroughbred 9 years old

Sire - Gamut, 2004 Grand Prix de Saint-Cloud winner. Sired by Spectrum out of Greektown (Ela-Mana-Mou)

This is an incredibly sad sale as he is so incredibly loved but unfortunately we just don’t click under saddle. He’s been in the same home for 4 years, I bought him as a rising 5 year old that had been sat on once and have done everything myself with him. He is truly a gentle giant with a heart of gold and wants nothing more than to please!

He has been to arena hires and loves every adventure, his work in the school needs more work on getting him balanced but walks, trots and canters well on the contact. He is not a novice ride as can get excited and due to his size it’s a long way down, he’s a big lad with big movements, never bucked or reared, never strong in the bit I have always had him in a snaffle. He has a very bold jump and is very forward and willing when it comes to jumping. He needs someone that has the confidence to be getting on and doing with him, he adores having a job and learning new things but takes a lot of confidence from his rider. This horse would honestly jump the moon for you if you asked, he’s truly a special boy.

Out hacking he’s great with traffic and is happy to lead or go at the back. He is really good in open spaces. He can go in a mixed herd but prefers it to be a smaller herd not one with 10+ horses. He has the potential to go very far in the right hands and I’ve put this off for so long because of how much he is adored but I know he’ll make someone very happy and I want him to be able to reach his full potential.

He’s a saint for the farrier, perfect to travel and load. Up to date with vaccines and teeth. Great with the clippers and will stand all day to be groomed.

He can come with tack at extra cost. He has a CWD saddle that he is very happy in.

New home will be vetted as I love him too much to let him get into the wrong hands, I’d love to keep in touch with the new owners and know how he’s getting on.

No time wasters as this is hard enough!
