16.2 10 year old chestnut gelding, 2nd in his last intro 2 years ago, has evented to Novice level. His owner is unwell so needs to sell. Would comfortably BSJA to discovery, BD to elementary. Not a total novice ride as he is a pure thoroughbred and raced for a couple of years as a youngster. Can be sensitive but thrives on work, the more he is schooled the better he gets.

What do you think?

I have no idea how much to ask for, it's my Mum's horse. Unfortunately she is really ill and can't ride now, I would love to have him but have a horse I ride and a field ornament. Can't afford a third one!

Want to find him a nice home but also get a fair price.
 
He would be a very useful sort to have around for someone wanting to do a bit of everything. He clearly has the scope to jump a decent course and he is only 10 so a good few years in him yet. Do you know anyone through the riding club that might be interested - would be a great team horse

Shame you can't keep him - he sounds a lot of fun!
