15.1 rising 5 (August), potential competition cobX seeking new home wth the right person who is seriously interested in purchasing this lovely boy. Not for a Novice due to his age and stage of education.
"Benny" is a charming character who is polite in the stable enjoys attention and a good groom. He hacks past heavy working farm machinery without hesitation and I was told he is fine with general traffic. Ridden in the school he can be anxious so requires someone who is kind and quiet and quick to reassure/praise. Benny occasionally spooks but this is nothing a competent rider couldn't manage.
This is a competition cob. Very forward, reacts to the leg, light in the hand, sweet natured and wants to please. He has previously hunted and proved polite at the meet around other horses and the hounds. And stood when asked to do so in the field. Benny proved to be bold jumping whilst out taking on fences without stopping. He does have brakes! He would probably enjoy XC or with more training pure show jumping. Benny is capable of doing a nice prelim test now with the right rider. In the future will likely make a lovely all rounder.
Benny has had recently had a full MOT! He has had a 5 stage vetting by my own vet (for insurance purposes) Teeth done, back checked, saddle fitted. He has a full set of new shoes and is fit and ready to go. Vetting certificate can be seen and you are welcome to speak with my vet and of course he is open to vetting. Genuine reason for this sad sale.
Give me a call or send text/email for any further information. Or to arrange to come over to meet him and see him ridden. He is currently on schooling livery with Alec Miles at Fair Oak.
