Raced once, now looking for the right experienced home
Up to date with physio, dentist, and farrier (recent saddle fitting also done).
All rugs included
Tack available at extra cost
Maverick is a lovely TB who was unfortunately mis sold to me as a novice safe first horse. He is absolutely not suitable for a novice or nervous rider. He needs a confident, experienced handler, ideally someone familiar with ex-racehorse, who can give him consistency, time, and clear direction.
Positives:
Easy to catch
3 lovely paces, even with a novice on board
Great under saddle with an experienced rider
Competed in dressage with his previous owner
Takes confidence from his rider and improves with a capable hand
Points to note:
He is sharp and can be spooky (this has been exaggerated by my own loss of confidence, which he picks up on)
Doesn’t like to be away from the herd
Loading needs work. He has had a bad experience in a lorry which has completely knocked his confidence.
Would suit a confident, experienced rider looking for a project horse
Maverick will need alot of work on the ground as he can be tense and he will need time to settle.
This is a very hard sale for me. I feel like I’ve let him down, but I don’t want to keep him in the wrong home. For that reason, homes will be vetted and he will only go to the right person who understands what he needs, so that he isn’t passed on again. His new home would need to be a calm and very understanding one.
