Cheers is a 16.2hh, dark bay, Thoroughbred with a white star and one white sock.
He is 7 years old.
He has recently had ulcers. The most recent gastric scope was all clear after treatment. When we bought him we were told by the vet (during the 5* vetting) that he had a weak back. This is still the case. No other injuries.
Cheers is your typical thoroughbred. He is not malicious, he is kind. He has good brakes and will not react to a kick on.
We ride in walk and trot only (due to his weak back) two times a week and lunge with a pessoa at least twice a week. He is currently stabled at 8am and turned out at 1pm (so out at night and in for the morning). He is turned out with ad hoc hay and has two hard feeds of Allen & Page, Soothe and Gain plus a small amount of fibre mash before riding/exercising.
He gives you a kiss for a carrot and is calm and very lovable. He will weave when waiting for you to cut up a carrot but this is the only time and it is excitement, he loves his treats. He loads and travels perfectly. Loves fresh water. Needs reassurance when bathing. All good with clipping. Good to catch.
Last year we took him to Pickering Grange for dress down dressage (very basic), just your walk and trot and he was amazing (had two rosettes 2nd and 6th with two different riders). Was in a good outline in all three paces and jumping a small course of 50cm when we bought him. Raced twice but it wasn't for him. Was retrained for three months before we bought him (have videos). He hacks alone and/or in company.
Cheers is not for a novice. He is green. He needs an experienced rider to bring him to his full potential after being off for his treatment for ulcers. He needs bringing back into work.
