16.2hh 7 year old Bay TB gelding for sale as a companion / light ride. Wonnabe is a lovely natured horse who I rescued after retiring from racing due to a tendon injury. Although he is now sound and happy he is not suitable for use as a competition or hard riding horse and therefore sold as a companion or possibly light hack.
I had tack fitted to him but unfortunately have never gotten around to getting on him due to lack of time and facilities. My vet has advised that he would be capable of walk and trot and the odd canter but not much more.
He has always been very quiet and well mannered on the ground so I would like to think he would be the same under saddle, however he is still a young ex race horse so he would need to be brought on carefully by an experienced rider.
He is generally low maintenance and very easy to do in all ways, his only requirement is that he is shod regularly (no longer than 6 weeks). He is a big softy who loves a brush and a fuss, very friendly and gentle with other horses and would make a fab companion; he is currently turned out with a small herd of elderly mares and always takes new herd members under his wing. Just a lovely boy and the yard favorite.
I am very sad to have to part with him but due change in circumstances and work commitments I am no longer able to give him the time that he deserves. He has good manners, comes to call and is a good do-er. As long as he has decent turnout and a haynet at night he's happy. He could live out with sufficient grazing and shelter.
I am looking for a forever home for him, as I do not want him passed around or to end up somewhere where he won't be properly cared for as we have spent a lot of time and money getting him right and I don't want to see him back at square one again.
Please only call if you if you can genuinely offer a loving forever home as this has been a hard decision and we will be heartbroken to see him go. Home more important than price. He comes with all his belongings including a full wardrobe of rugs. Tack available at extra cost.
£450 ONO
