Scottish members- Does anyone know Charlie?

[charlyan]

I would love to trace Charlie's history for his owner. Very little is known about his history other than he is an ex-eventer (has competed at Burgie) but had to retire due to injury- (pelvic).

He is an Irish Draught type, dark bay/ black with three white socks, measures 16.3hh and is approximately 10-12 years old. A real gentle giant

He was purchased from John Crawford in Aberdeen in April last year and as far as I know has always been in the Northeast of Scotland..He's in a VERY loving home now and I think his owner would love to find out more about him.

PM if you like.

I'm afraid I don't know anything about charlies history before John bought him but I knew and rode him at Hayfield and he's a lovely boy - good to hear he's in a good home now.

ooh thats a lovely view behind him!!!

Does John not have any background info on him? Or at least where he bought him from? Sorry Ive never heard of this horse. Do you know his show name, what he evented under?

 

[charlyan]

Haven't managed to get hold of John lately to find out anymore about Chaz. He stays with my horse here and is a love.

Magic Magpie- i'm afraid other than his owner being told that he'd been at Burgie, we don't know anything about his competitive career. His passport doesn't have any info on it re his breeding or history beyond John so we're a bit clueless at the mo!

haffieliesel- Thank you! Shame you can hardly see the view at the moment for the rain and mud!!

Doesn't his passport give the name he evented under then you could check his record with BE?

 

[charlyan]

Unfortunately no- he was passported after his accident

 

[eashh]

Mmm Sounds a bit dodgy to me - what was this "accident"? He should have his passport with him no matter what happened to him in the past.
How do you know he evented at Burgie - perhaps they could give you more info?

His owner was going to look into his history more , think she's going to contact Hayfield herself- i don't know any of the details regarding his accident (he's fine now but can get stiff). She was told when she bought him that he was an ex-eventer and had been at Burgie but I'm afraid I don't know any more than that.

We posted on here in case anyone else knew more about him.
