Very smart 14.1hh, rising 15 year old, New Forest, gelding.
Raffles is well schooled and an easy ride on the flat with well established lateral work.
He does however, prefer life outside of the arena and in his previous home has done lots of hacking both on and off road as well as on the beach. Recently he has proven himself to be a hugely enjoyable hack on the New Forest. This is something that he absolutely loves and he will be a great fit for someone wanting to do lots of off road hacking.
He is a super reliable jumper who is completely unfazed by the spookiest of fillers, water trays, steps, ditches or water. Has Evented and done lots of SJ and arena XC.
Has also hunted regularly in Jersey.
Great to catch, shoe, clip, in all the traffic we have met with him and loads and travels well on any lorry or trailer.
For sale as completely outgrown by his previous rider who has now moved onto horses.
The right home for Raffles is an absolute priority. He is true to his breed type in that he is a big personality and can be a cheeky chap on occasion. Has been know to throw in the occasional big buck when excited. Because of this, he is not suitable for a young child or inexperienced home. Best suited to a confident teenager or small adult rider who wants to kick on and have lots of fun hacking out, doing a bit of jumping (he is very happy to compete at 80cm/90cm max) and/or hunting.
5* perfect and ideally permanent home is an absolute priority.
£5000- price is open to discussion for the right person. His owners are also happy to discuss the option of a long term loan home, or loan WVTB if it is the absolute perfect match of home and rider. The priority is that Raffles finds a permanent and loving home. All homes will be thoroughly vetted and references required.
