Putting the feelers out..
I am possibly looking to put my Gorgeous Appaloosa gelding up for part loan. Spotty is 15.1 and 18yrs (although he does not know it!) He’s my absolute best friend, I have had him for 8 years and I will never part with him however, it’s time for me to get something a bit younger, and I just don’t have time for two. He must stay at his current yard and I’m looking for someone, who is mainly looking to hack (maybe a slightly lively one!).
Spotty goes beautifully on the flat and has 3 lovely paces. But I wouldn’t want him schooling all the time as he gets a bit stiff. Spotty absolutely loves jumping and has a fab jump. But with Spotty’s arthritis his big jumping days are over, so he can only jump occasionally at 60cm max.
Spotty will hack alone and in company. However Spotty does spook so you need to be a confident rider who is capable of sitting to a spook (jumping sideways and prancing!). I hack spotty out alone most of the time. He is absolutely fine with cars/traffic/bikes it’s mainly the monsters in the hedge and BIRDS!
Our yard is just next to the Cheshire lines where you can hack for hours and have a great gallop, the yard also has a fabulous big arena with blocks and poles that you can use as you wish.
Spotty has the most amazing personality he is great to deal with and loves a good scratch. He will even give you kisses, he loves attention! He is a fabulous horse with a great character. Never kicks, bucks or rears. Can be a bit nippy but only in an attention seeking way.
Spotty is NOT a novice ride, so no novices please or anyone under 16.
I’m happy for someone to loan him from 2, 3 or even 4 days a week and a financial contribution is required. Yard work is optional, I am happy to do those duties.
This is not an easy decision so serious enquiries only. I will be picky as I love him to pieces!
