My partner keeps telling me to part loan/share my horse, but I don't think anyone would want to as there are better horses out there. So honest opinions wanted. Oh I did used to have a different username, but changed so if this sounds familiar that's why.
10 year old warmblood gelding
Very good paces in walk, trot and canter, although he is 'difficult' to ride in the sense that his movement is large and a Novice would struggle.
He had ks surgery last year and surgery on both stifles as well and is pretty much out of rehab now. But we haven't tried jumping him yet. He can possibly jump small jumps infrequently, but I wouldnt want him jumping anything high. His jumping is fantastic though, he never refuses.
Hacking is difficult for me as I lack confidence but I really can't see why someone confident couldn't hack him. He's been hacked before by people with confidence and they've had no issues at all. The problem there is me only.
My instructor has been schooling him recently too as I've been struggling with confidence issues (despite him doing literally nothing) and she's had no issues with him.
I don't know if I would ask for money, maybe just a small amount if anything. Any vet bills would be paid for by me obviously, and farrier as he manages to usually pull one off early every month.
Do you think anyone would be interested? I don't because of his medical history. Plus he could go lame permanently at any point because of his stifles, although I guess you could say that about any horse.
What do you think?
