Due to pregnancy, I am offering my lovely Rebel for full loan. Rebel is a 15.3hh, full bred Irish draught, 15 year old, gelding.
I would love to find Rebel a home where he will be loved and enjoyed while I am off games and for the foreseeable future. He is currently being wasted, in light work.
I have owned Rebel for 4 years and we have taken part in a variety of low level activities such as showjumping clinics, dressage (prelim), fun rides, showing and more. He is such a wonderful allrounder. He is good to hack alone and in company, will go first or last. He is good to load and travel. I have travelled him in a trailer, 3.5t and 18t lorry.
He is good for the farrier and vet. He can be left in the stable on his own. Can be a little headshy with strangers but nothing major.
The ideal home for Rebel would be mainly hacking, fun rides, clinics and low level competitions with a teenager or adult. I just wish for him to have fun. I don’t really want Rebel to do tonnes of schooling / dressage just as this isn’t something he enjoys. He loves jumping but this isn’t something I’ve done loads of with him due to being a bit of a pansy myself.
Rebel is a forward but fun ride, can be a little spooky but nothing ridiculous. Can be strong on fun rides. I used to hunt Rebel a lot which is his favourite but he is very, very strong. Therefore he is not a novice ride. Always in a snaffle at home.
He does have melanomas which need keeping an eye on but do not cause him any issues.
He also had an episode of laminitis this spring, first time he’s had it purely due to the lack of work and is now sound and doing well but this will obviously need maintaining. Will not be an issue if he is kept in work and off lovely sweet grass!
I am in no rush to find somewhere for Rebel, I just want what is best for him and it saddens me to see him being wasted. I would ideally need references for a candidate home as well as coming to have a look before he moves and frequent visits. 5 star home is an absolute must.
Alternatively, I am open to having a sharer or two for him to stay at his current yard in Alton.
Please contact me for more information or any questions.
