Stunning 16.2 grey gelding

16.2h 10yr dapple grey Irish sport horse. Potential grassroots horse.

Heartbreaking sale of beautiful 16.2 10yr gelding, Robin. Only for sale due to change in my personal circumstances, this is not a decision I have made lightly and only best of homes will be considered. Robin is full of personality, with the sweetest soul and loves to be the centre of attention. Robin is a 10 year old 16.2 Irish sport horse I have owned for the last 3 years. I have known him since he was 4 from when he came over from Ireland so majority of his history is known. Robin has low mileage for his age, was lightly broken in Ireland before coming to the uk but due to previous owners own circumstances did nothing for several years before I bought him. Since being with me has been slowly and carefully produced to be a nice all rounder with the aim to event this year. However due to lack of time this has not yet happened. Robin has three lovely paces and is currently working at novice level with some elementary movements. Been out plenty of times competing at local unaffiliated dressage’s, scoring mid to high 60s in his novice tests. Robin is a quick learner and I see no reason why he couldn’t move up the levels in a dressage career. However, whilst he works lovely on the flat and could do very well with a BD minded rider he does thrive of a varied life style and loves his jumping. We regularly attend lessons with a local 3* event rider jumping around 80-90s (my comfort zone) with much more scope to move up in height. Robin is brilliant with all fillers (including water trays) however does like to know his rider is there with him. Has been out competing regularly at local unaffiliated competitions and regularly in the ribbons. Robin has seen a big variety of xc fences and thoroughly enjoys this, but does take confidence in his rider. Again we are currently jumping around 80-90 xc fences confidently including ditched and brushes. With the right rider I really do believe he would thrive in an eventing home as he lights up when out jumping. Good to do in all ways: teeth, farrier (shod all round), clip, brush, bath, tack up ect. Loads first time every time onto both boxes and trailers and travels like a dream (I have a trailer but have borrowed boxes in the past). Loves to hack but generally prefers to go with a friend. Whilst he is good to do in all ways Robin is NOT suitable for a novice, he is a fit horse that loves a jobs and thrives of routine and varied correct work. He is not the sort to be going around the same arena day in day out and he can get bored easily, he enjoys going out and seeing the world. This is when he performs at his best. He is up to date with everything, vacs, teeth, feet, wormer, physio (I am a veterinary physiotherapist and his physical health has always been top priority). He is currently out at night and in during the day.
