My 12 year old, Gentle Giant is looking for an experienced, confident and gentle rider to have fun with and further his development.

Available 2-3 days a week, days can be arranged to suit you and can include weekends. There is a requirement for Poo picking on your days, and a financial contribution towards his keep will be required.

Expierenced, confident and kind riders only, absolutely NO joy riders, time wasters or daydreamers! Riders must be over 18 years old and have proof of their own riders insurance and weigh no more than 15 stone.

Tank is a beautiful Belgian Boy with the kindest nature, who has a lovely temperament and quirky little personality. He can be nervous in some situations he is unsure of and looks to his handler & rider for confidence, he always aims to please and once he trusts you and has built a bond with you he will try anything for you.

He is a big boy, however he is very responsive off the leg and is not lazy at all, he is a forward going exciting ride and is like an armchair and is very safe and sturdy, however he can be strong due to his size and weight, but he is never dangerous. He works well with voice commands and he loves praise and will try his hardest at anything you ask of him, even if he doesn’t quite understand.

Tank is very talented and he will try his hand in any discipline but requires someone with the right attitude, confidence and motivation. He has tried a few dressage tests and has won a 2nd place, I am currently in the process of teaching him to jump and he’s coming on very nicely and is showing to be very brave and bold. Tank is green but very willing and loves a challenge and with the right rider he will go far.

He is not suitable for a ‘happy hacker’ or ‘novice rider’ and needs a calm rider to show him the way without getting cross or flappy.

Tank loves hacking, especially if the ride involves a stop at the pub with his friends for a beer & carrots on the way home! There is hacking to the forest a short road ride away, he is completely unfazed by traffic and there is a local pub just a short ride down the road too! He is also easy to load (especially with a friend) so there are options to box to the forest for a change of scenery too if desired.
There is also a grassy area onsite that you can school or have lessons on too (weather & ground permitting)

If you are interested in finding out more about Tank and coming to meet him, please send me an email in the first instance and we can arrange a chat on the phone.

Please only apply if you believe you meet the full criteria to get the best out of Tank.
