I purchased Monty from a driving home 6 months ago to fill the gap as my young horse had a holiday. He was unbroken to ride but proved to be very easy to break and took to everything quickly.
In this time Monty has done a variety of all-rounder activities including beach rides, arena XC and some jumping at home. He is established on the flat in walk and trot with a consistent contact and is responsive to canter but needs more time and strength to develop in this area. He would do a very sweet intro test already.
Monty has done a small amount of jumping, mainly working on basics so not to rush him. He has done gridwork, small courses of 70cm (including fillers) and arena XC. So far he has proved very brave with steps, water, ditches and solid fences. He’s not phased about other horses jumping/splashing through the water around him.
Hacking is probably Monty’s favourite ridden activity. He has done plenty of beach rides - enjoying a plod through the sea or a canter with friends. He has also been good to hack in open fields and on the road, having the occasional spook at something silly but generally a relaxed character. Hacks alone and in company. Goes first or last - doesn’t panic he’s being left behind etc.
Monty is easy on the ground, good to catch, lead, load, clip, shoe and with the vet. He is up to date with teeth, physio, vaccinations and can come with his professionally fitted GFS saddle. He is currently on individual turnout but has previously been turned out with others. Lives in or out and is generally an easy going chap.
His perfect home would be with someone who loves hacking or wants to do a bit more producing to get him to PC/RC standard. He will tolerate people pressing the wrong buttons but ideally needs someone competent and confident to keep his education on the right track. Unfortunately, I cannot afford to run two horses so Monty needs to find his next person. Open to viewings and vettings. Based in West Sussex, West Wittering.
£5500ovno to include fitted saddle.
