Talented Hunter/Allrounder

An exceptional, talented and smart 17.1hh ISH 10yr old Gelding. Sunny is a legend and has been our family hunter, ridden by myself, my husband and our three grown up children. Don’t let his height put you off - I’m only 5.6ft and feel so happy on board - there’s no ride like him. He is a family favourite and always the one I choose to take visiting - especially if it’s going to be big country. Hunted regularly with The Burton Hunt, in the field…front or back, as a trail laying horse and field mastered. Visited the Belvoir, Cottesmore, Quorn, Bedale, Percy and Berkeley hunts. Hunts all day and more…you don’t need a second horse, Sunny eats up the country with his mega comfortable large gait and jumps as though you just went over something half the size, can take off early clearing everything or take a short one, whichever…….. he keeps you out of trouble and takes it all on his stride. Really locks onto fences - hence I do bit him up for big days but most of the time he’s a loose rein day kind of man, easy in a three ring gag, he knows the job inside out, gives you the ride of your life. Loves hedges, ditches, rails - no country too big. As a rule we don’t compete but the few, rather unrehearsed (both rider and horse), times we have competed he has been just amazing….skinnies, water, off set strides…doesn’t phase him and he’s even bossed a dressage competition. Good on the flat, changes legs for fun…he started his life in an eventing yard - so it’s all there and he transforms into whatever you ask. Lots of potential to event as well as being the most awesome, comfortable, smart, easy and brilliant hunter. Sunny is in the absolute prime of his life, never sick or sorry, never been to the vet, a good doer, easy to handle, clip, shoe, box. Lives in a herd but happy alone. Easy to to - clip, shoe, box, ride and lead. No vices. Selling Sunny is not a popular decision in the family so an experienced home only for this epic horse and no time wasters please.
