For Sale: Versatile 8-Year-Old Thoroughbred Gelding – Hunter/Jumper Potential

Meet this sweet, easy-going 8-year-old Thoroughbred gelding, standing at 16.3 hands. Ideal for an intermediate adult amateur looking to bring along a talented partner, this guy has the potential to excel in both the hunter and jumper rings. He’s been started over fences and is still considered green but has a steady “whoa” personality, making him a great match for someone wanting a calm, willing horse.... (read more)

Key Qualities:

• Quiet temperament for a Thoroughbred – more “whoa” than “go”

• Loves people, easy to handle, and thrives in a social environment

• Ridden English or Western, with experience in lessons, on trails, and around an inexperienced rider (my husband)

• No buck, no rear – perfect for riders seeking a safe, steady horse

He ties, trailers, and is used to being around other horses. He’s been X-rayed and cleared for soundness despite having some bone spurs from an old injury, which do not affect his performance. I’ve had him for 1.5 years without any lameness issues.

Perfect Home Match:
First preference given to a home with a trainer who can continue his development. He would do best in an environment where he’s not alone, as he enjoys being with other horses and people.

I’m only parting with him due to time constraints and know he’ll make someone a wonderful partner with the right training and care. Serious inquiries only!
