‘Edmund Ironside’ or Ed as he is known at home. 16.1hh 5 year old TB gelding.
He has plenty of filling out and growing to do, but is going to mature to be a really nice solid type. Excellent conformation, straight mover and no lumps or bumps. Fab prospect for ROR as he raced on the flat.
Lovely to hack alone and in company, not spooky or silly, brilliant in all traffic and with farm machinery. Sensible in open spaces in front or behind, snaffled mouthed. Good with dogs, sheep, donkeys and livestock!
Schooling sweetly for his age and stage, showing real potential in all 3 paces, with a huge amount more to come. A very comfortable nice horse to sit on. He has just started being introduced to poles and small jumps, so is very green with this, but straight and genuine. Been out to a novice pole clinic and behaved impeccably.
What makes Ed really stand out is his outstanding temperament. I really cannot rate him highly enough, he is adorable, sweet and cuddly, but also sensible and with a really trainable brain. A type genuinely hard to find. Although he is green and early in his retraining he has proven unflappable so far, taking everything in his stride and being exceptionally genuine. He isn’t a spooky type, and is incredibly sensible.
A really nice person in the field and with other horses, currently turned out with a mare and gelding.
Ed’s only vice is that he doesn’t like to be stabled and he will weave and box walk. On 24/7 turnout with a shelter he is very happy and settled, to the extent you can leave him out completely alone overnight while others come in. Unfortunately I can’t offer him this way of life long term, so on top of my own health needs I have reached the difficult decision to find a new home for him. Other than needing 24/7 turnout he is a very easy straightforward horse.
His price in no way reflects what a quality horse he is, just recognises that he deserves a fab home that can meet his turnout needs.
