- George will be a great horse for someone who wants a potentially competitive grassroots horse but is restricted by a budget. He's only XC schooled a couple of times but has understood the concept very well! Fantastic dressage scores BD at Prelim/ Novice (normally between 69-74%) and having started life in a purely show jumping home, gives him a great chance at being a highly competitive grassroots horse. Will need further XC exposure but very established otherwise. His jumping breeders recognised that despite his bloodlines he wasn't going to be good enough to jump at the top level so we brought him as a really nice horse on the flat. He has unfortunately proved a bit too much horse for his amateur weekend rider. These issues and history are reflected in his price. He has been known to rear in the school with her when they've got frustrated with each other. He doesn't appreciate unbalanced riders using their hands to help them. He has had lots of investigations and jabs by the vet to ensure he's comfortable but this hasn't made any notable difference. He is still very different for his owner than he is for others on the yard that ride him. We had originally had him up for sale as a dressage horse as he's so nice to ride and easy to do at competitions. But after a couple of viewings we realised that other 'mums' who are just looking to enjoy some low key dressage and lessons aren’t right for him and he needs a different home to develop his potential. Continuing his jumping will hopefully help him to find his long term partner. George should make a great project for someone to either sell after doing some ODEs or equally you could get yourself a competitive horse without the expensive competition record. If possible, make contact via WhatsApp for more information and a large selection of pictures and videos.
