My 13 year old, Gentle Giant is looking for an experienced, confident and gentle rider to have fun and further his development with.

Tank is a beautiful Belgian draft boy with the kindest nature and quirky little personality too. He can be nervous in some situations that he is unsure of and looks to his handler & rider for confidence, he always aims to please and once he trusts you and has built a bond with you he will try his best for you with anything you ask of him.

He is a big boy, however he is very responsive off the leg and is not lazy at all, he is a forward going exciting ride, he feels like your sitting in an armchair and is very safe and sturdy, however he can be strong due to his size and weight, and needs a confident and strong rider to guide him, but he is never dangerous. He works well with voice commands and he loves praise and also lots of cuddles too.

Tank is very talented and has come on leaps and bounds since I’ve had him but he’s still learning his way and requires someone with the right attitude, confidence and motivation to help him to continue his progression. He has been to a few shows and is taking it all in his stride, and id be happy for you to take him to shows and clinics once you have gained a good bond together.

Tank is green but very willing and loves a challenge and with the right rider he will go far.

He is kept at a very professional and friendly yard near to Romsey. The yard has amazing facilities with a large indoor and outdoor school, both with mirrors, viewing areas and access to jumps. There is also miles of onsite hacking with cross county jumps scattered around for our use too, so no road work or leaving the yard for hacking is required at all.

He is available 2-4 days a week, days can be arranged to suit you and can include a weekend day. There is no requirement for any yard duties, however a financial contribution will be required and will vary depending on number of days chosen.

He is not suitable for a 'happy hacker' or 'novice rider' or someone who’s not ridden in years and needs a calm and patient rider to show him the way without getting cross or flappy so expierenced, confident and kind riders only please, absolutely NO joy riders, time wasters or daydreamers he is a lot of horse and you must be able to handle him in all situations! Rider must be over 18 years old and have proof of their own riders insurance and weigh no more than 13 stone.

If you are interested in finding out more about Tank and coming to meet him, please send me an email in the first instance and we can arrange a chat on the phone. Please only apply if you believe you meet the full criteria to get the best out of Tank.
