"Northgate" Bay Gelding Ex Racehorse
Northgate
4yr old bay gelding (gelded May 2024)
16.2hh
Lightly raced. Very low mileage. Hasn't made the grade (too slow). Lovely temperament will stand to be brushed all day. Could do any job and up to date with teeth and vaccinations.
Good to clip, shoe, travel. Been turned out in small paddocks. Good on the ground and straight forward. Snaffle mouthed. Front shod since raced
He is currently ridden in the arena. He’s growing in confidence everyday. He has popped small fences and trot poles with ease . Although he is still very green he is willing to try. Hacked out alone with rider and in hand.
As with all of our racehorses that we send off after retiring from racing, we put them in the category of “not for a novice ride” as they have to be brought on by riders with the ability to re-educate them in arenas, roadwork etc
Minor cut on forearm from a kick in May 2023.
Mild sore flexion on right fore fetlock after being turned out. No issues after, no steroid injections or wind issues. Retired sound from racing
Available to view and ride.
Warthill, York.
