need advice wording a loan ad

[Vicki_Krystal]

This is in comp room too but no one replied! (my lack of forum clout strikes again!)

I have a 16.1hh Bay gelding - Ramiro Z x Kalusha lines.
He is 9yo but was only affiliated when i got him and hasnt done much - winnings are £158 actual, £82 notional - he has won Discoveries etc.

He is good to clip, shoe, box etc.


Now the hard bit -
He isnt a novice ride - he will try it on with anyone that gives him a chance.
From what i can work out he was sold for a lot of monay as a 4yr old and i think, was rapped or very similar treatment.
He naps coming to a fence if it has people either side of the wings ( i suspect waiting for a rap) and sometimes just gets himself in such a tizz.

He does have nice paces, hacks, has popped a few x country fences (its not my thing but have popped a few out hacking etc)

Now - he isnt satan in carnate! and i know ive probably made him sound like it!
He is a sweet loving horse who i think would benefit from more one to one attention - which, if im honest he doesnt get from me as i have the others to do too.

He is seriously scopey and isnt spooky in the ring as a rule.
How do i word an ad to attract the right type of rider for him?

He could come back to me whenever - im not loaning him to get shot of him, i just feel he is being wasted with me as im so busy with the others and am guilty of leaving him til last as he is the 'tricky' one.

Mugs of hot tea for anyone that helps me!

TBH I wouldn't put out an ad, I'd try go by word out of in BSJA circuit.

Or keep him for me to steal in 6 months when I'm after a new one

Nice paces and will hack and pop XC fences. Not a novice ride, needs an experienced, sympathetic rider. Excels at jumping and there is an opportunity to compete for the right rider. For loan through no fault of his own. Very kind natured horse who would benefit from one-to-one attention.

He is good to clip, shoe, box etc.

How long are you thinking of loaning him? Are you hoping that he would come back to you at some stage so you can compete him when you have more time?

ie does it need to be a serious competition home or would a low key home suit for now?

I noticed your thread about moving but missed the earlier posts - can you fill me in?
