After many painful and upsetting discussions with friends, family and knowledgable people it seems that keeping my boy whilst going to university is unlikely, mainly due to financial reasons. I've still got a year left to think about any other possible ways around it but I would be interested to see what kind of price he would be marketed at. Prices seem pretty bizarre atm so many opinions woulf be appreciated. This really is a last resort for me, I am so desperate to work around it.
I brought him as a 7 year old for £4000, he was very green and needed a lot of work on the flat but he is extremely genuine and I have never known a horse to try so hard for you, there's something very special about him in that sense.
He's a 15.2H, piebald gelding, TBxID i suspect. Would be 9 by the time I have to sell him. Perfect in everyway shoeing/loading/vets/clip etc, comes to call in the field. I've known him since he was a 4yr and has never been sick or sorry. Lives in or out. Is completely bombproof in heaviset traffic. Brilliant out hacking foreward going and fun but exeedingly safe, first/last, in company/on his own. His flatwork has come on astonishingly, he is a new horse. Works consistantly and has established basic changes, leg yielding, flying changes, turning on forehand etc, has a beautiful shape and movement. Has done some lovely tests.
He gives and gives in his jumping, he could jump forever! Jumps a lovely course 3ft3 and higher at home but I've jumped him over 4ft(scope to go higher) and equally good (if better) XC. He really is anyones ride, a real confidence giver (my 5yr sister loves riding him) but could really go somewhere with a more experianced person. Ideal teenagers event horse. He really is sort hard to find and tries his hardest to please, he's a pleasure to do.
Sorry so longwinded
....what do you think?
Oh and it's in the Surrey/London area.
