Well my sister has decided the time has come to sell Jacob..She's in her 3rd year at university and really struggling, and she has just decided she wants to carry on studying which involves her moving to London for 4 years!
Anyway, she's not sure what to put him up at, so here he is..
14.3ish coloured (piebald but goes browny in the sun?) hairy cob gelding. He's 11 years old.
He's not a typical cob - forward going, not strong but has his moments, can be spooky and definatly not a novice ride, he'll walk all over you if he can. If he's very excited, i.e first time jumping in a long time he bucks but not big. He can be very bargy on the ground especially if there's food involved and will barge through you out of his stable & through electric fence that sort of thing. Has gotten better but will still try every now and again. He's got a big jump, very bold and careful but will stop if you're nervous but he adores it. He's competed and won & placed up to 2 foot 9, and has xc schooled up to 3 foot and done a xc competition about 2 foot and won (only because everyone else was eliminated xD), and came 4th in a 2 foot 3 one. He's cleared I think it was 3 foot 9 in a Chase me Charlie once but rarely jumps/ed over 3 foot as my sister is a bit of a wimp.
His flatwork is average, he doesn't really come on the bit, he used to when he was in more regular work but doesn't at the moment but he's fairly balanced. His one attempt at dressage was appalling and got about 30% but then there was SJ with only dressage boards seperating them and Jacob likes his jumping. He's also done very well in in-hand and ridden coloured showing a couple of years ago.
He's bombproof in traffic, perfect to catch, shoe and clip but a pink pooper scooper to load. He was fine when he was going out regularily, but he had a fright when Willow attacked him and he managed to wedge his bum under the bum bar and ripped the partition out, since then he has loaded with lots of practise before hand but definatly needs a lot of work. Once in the trailer he's fine. He's also lovely to hack at home and in company provided you don't canter on the way home as that's just too exciting.
At the moment he is rather unfit and fat because she doesn't have time to ride him so he isn't a "read to go" type. Because of lack of time his flatwork has also gone down the drain a bit though his jumping is as good as ever.
He's unblemished and hasn't been lame in the last 7 years (we knew him before we bought himand we've had him 3 and a half years) He's ridden in a happy mouth snaffle and a martingale.
He will come with a very very good saddle (very comfortable and smart) which is quite old but without a mark on it and looks like new, his bridle and his full wardrobe which included about 14 good quality rugs, travelling boots ect.
Here are piccies..
Hope thats enough!
