16hh Irish Sport Horse

Ruben, 16hh Chestnut, 9 year old Irish sports horse

Talented horse that loves to jump/XC, absolutely no novices and needs a competition jumping home!

Very sad sale, bought him as a project hoping to get to grass roots, needs a rider with more time and experience.
Not suited to hacking home, very nervous in traffic but fine in open fields. Was schooling nicely and has done dressage tests at Prelim level but not his strongest phase, and can get fidgety in the mouth.

Has done BSJA British novice on a ticket and went round clear, he has done a lot of show jumping competitions and arena eventing and always tries and never refuses, he is comfortable at 90cm and 1m courses if any lower he gets bored and doesn’t have the keen drive to a fence.
Absolutely loves cross country and will really try for you, never strong or silly and will give you a good confident feeling. Again, has gone round BE 90cm and 1m courses.

He is great to catch, clip, shoe, load, bath. He had ulcers found in upper stomach in June 2020 and was treated with a month course, he is on a supplement which I can talk to you about which stops the acid build up in his stomach. This is why his price is low.

He is not being worked currently but very welcome to lunge and get on him I have an arena and fields to try him in. Very hard decision and I want the best home for him, he has sadly knocked my confidence after owning him for 3 years.

Vaccinations, worming, farrier, dentist, chiropractor all up to date. Option to buy brand new event saddle which is fitted to him separately. Bridle and rugs included.

Whatsapp for videos but I will not answer questions by text please call me.
