Approx 17.1/17.2hh bay gelding. 15 years old. Irish x.
He has jumped upto young riders, over £700 bsja winnings.
Never touches a fence, super super careful ( he must always wear a stud guard even indoors as he literally kicks himself in belly he is so neat).
Turns on a sexpence, jumps from any stride to any height fence, very powerful and will clear any height or width. Jumps all fillers, water, walls, banks, dykes, steps, ditches etc etc.
Hacks like an angel, 100% heavy traffic, totally unspooky (will have a look but doesnt actually spook to toher side of road etc). Hacks buckle end reins alone or in company. Faultless manners on ground, loads himself. Goes to sleep with farrier. Now for the bad bits!! He needs sedelin to clip as he is very ticklish, and he is VERY VERY strong, now he is fit and upto weight i just cant control him, he pulls my arms out (hacking im fine as he hacks buckle end).
He really needs a man to cope with his strength...or a strong lady!) Most definately not a novice ride although on the flat (which he hates) he does bounce about and keep changing behind and doin little bunny bucks he has been school as does flying changes. He is just a jumping/hacking horse really.

But despite all this for the right rider he is a real diesel BSJA horse upto 1.20/1.30!

Prices please???

I'm AWFUL with pricings, so i could be totally off the mark!
But, maybe about £2500-£3000.
Only because of his age and that he's not that fab in the school etc , and that he's strong to jump etc.
But like i said, i'm probably way off

if he was younger you could have got a lot more as hes obviously great for BSJA, but because of his age i would think about £3000- not very good at this, but i dont think the strength is an issue, i have two VERY strong horses, as in i have to hunt in a double reined gag and thats still a struggle, and im 5.4ft and 15 years old, so not everyone minds strong hroses. is he strong when he jumps? that could mean that hed be worth a bit less as although mine are strong the one that jumps doesnt (generally) pull me round...
does sounds lovely
