Colden is an 8-year-old, 15'2", Thoroughbred, ex-point-to-point horse who we have owned for nine months. He is extremely talented and brave with exceptional scope and the most laid-back, kind, easy going temperament. He has great conformation and is a stunning, rare dark bay.

He is still a little green for his age, but has bags of ability, a brave, calm head on his shoulders and a big, kind heart. He has massive scope and a natural, bold jump (jumped 5'6" point-to-point fences), is incredibly brave to a fence and loves jumping, including over show-jump poles. He also moves beautifully on the ground. He is level-headed, reliable, straightforward, non-spooky and takes everything in his stride. He hacks alone and in company, travels well alone or in company, is easy to catch, great for the farrier and has no vices. He is kind, friendly and funny and very much a favourite at the stables.

Since we have owned him, we have focused on groundwork, hacking, correct education and sorting the basics, and he is now an exciting prospect for someone wanting a genuine, seriously talented horse to bring him on for eventing, team chasing, riding club activities/competitions, a teenage pony-clubber moving up from ponies, or someone looking for a kind, sensible, level-headed all-rounder. With further experience and mileage, he will be really special.

Only for sale as his owner has unexpectedly been offered a job abroad for six months from the end of March and is then going to university in London when she returns, so unfortunately, we have no choice but to sell him.

Serious enquiries only and no novices as he is talented and speedy and we want him to go to a home where he will have fun and fulfil his potential. No timewasters or joyriders please.
