Essex, he is a very talented 8yo , jumps 1.30 courses with ease at home, leads team chasing, novice evented.. showing soooo much promise but opinionated and i feel he is more of a pro's horse to get the best out of him!!
Are you keen on keeping him as he is a homebred? just that a horse with a good Novice record and jumping competitively at 1m30 is actually worth quite a lot of money. If you want to see how far he will progress, then again, might be worth considering your end goal, ie. you want to be an owner and enjoy with a never sell proviso or you do you want to see say, established at intermediate and then put him up.
