"Paddy" Dapple Grey Gelding Cob/Heavy Horse
*Deposit now taken* Handsome 15hh, 5-year-old cob gelding. Dapple grey, a real eye-catching type with lots of potential in the right hands.
He is backed and riding away, but still green and requires further education. In the school he can nap towards the gate if allowed, but improves with a consistent and confident rider. Out hacking he can be spooky due to lack of mileage and takes reassurance from his rider. He has previously hacked out sensibly and will benefit from someone confident to continue his education.
On the ground he will need a knowledgeable and experienced handler. He has recently been diagnosed with mild, early-stage CPL and mallenders, which are currently being managed with creams, washing, and regular clipping (legs clipped under sedation). Happy to disclose full medical history. He can be sensitive behind and has been known to kick out when handling his hind legs, so requires calm, confident handling. This is reflected in his price, as in the right hands he has the potential to make a lovely ridden horse.
He is currently based on a busy livery yard and is well handled day-to-day. He is in a herd of geldings and has previously been turned out in mixed herd.
This is a very sad sale of a much-loved horse, but he is not the right match for me. He would suit an experienced home looking for a rewarding project.
Serious enquiries and experienced homes only.
Based in Hertfordshire. Priced at £3,000 including tack and rugs (open to sensible offers)
