The type of horse that everyone wants is available for full loan. Apollo is 6 in July and has had a really solid foundation of education.

PLEASE read the advert carefully before contacting.

He wouldn’t be for loan if it wasn’t for illness in my family which is taking priority on my time due to caring commitments. I don’t want him turned away in a field as he loves his work, hence deciding to loan him.

He is not to go any further that 45 mins drive from SP10 2QR (Andover, Hampshire). Please check how far away you are before contacting me.

13 stone weight limit.

About him:

- He is an honest, safe ride that has 3 fantastic paces and enjoys a jump
- He is green in the arena but has been professionally schooled so is building a great foundation
- He has lovely paces and is very comfortable to ride
- He is very likely to make a great hunting horse
- He is bold and level headed out hacking on his own or in company (including groups)
- He is as bomb proof as a 6 year old can be
- Is shod all round and good to shoe
- He is still having a small amount of sedation to clip but is getting better!
- He is generally easy to handle on the ground
- Will travel well in lorry or trailer
- He is very willing and wants to do the right thing

Despite the above, he is a YOUNG horse and can have baby moments.

What he needs:

- He is still a young horse so will occasionally need his hoof held and pushed past things
- For this reason he won’t be loaned to a novice or nervous rider
- He thrives with boundaries and a routine
- He prefers being out with just one other horse but has been in a herd previously
- Preference will go to somewhere that he can be turned out with another horse
- He would prefer to be out 247 but can be stabled - he was out 247 for the first 5 years of his life and doesn’t seem to particularly enjoy being in the stable
- He won't go somewhere with limited turnout in the winter
- He LOVES to work and gets bored if not using his brain
- Needs to continue some ground/pole work to continue building his strength as he continues to grow
- Has some supplements that he needs to continue (which I will supply)
- He will need his weight managed
- He would prefer a smaller yard

There will be a loan agreement in place and an agreed sale price, should this be mutually agreed in the future. However, he is not for sale currently.

Please be honest about your ability as I want the loan period to be for a substantial time

He is NOT suitable for a novice rider, someone coming back into riding, he isn't a confidence giver and he isn't for a child. This is because of his age and the home that I hope to find for him, not because he is dangerous!

Photos and videos available on request.

I am getting a lot of queries so PLEASE send videos of you riding and some information about your set-up, your experience and what you'd like to do with him.

He is not available on a first come first served basis - I have to get the right home for this boy!
