Lovely big young horse, low mileage ready for you to put your own stamp on.
Rufus would make a fantastic winter project for someone experienced in bringing on young competition horses. He’s done enough to prove he’s got the right brain and attitude but hasn’t been rushed at all.
He’s been ridden by a petite lady rider this year and has been to multiple arena hires and lessons. He’s very well behaved out and about, easy enough for you to take on your own.
On the flat he is balanced and has a lot of scope within his stride and will have the ability to work at a much more advanced level with time and correct training. He’s started lateral work and has a very willing and trainable attitude.
He’s bold and careful over a fence and isn’t phased by any fillers. He hasn’t been pushed in his jumping whilst being ridden but shows real promise and has a good natural scopey jump when loose jumping. He hasn’t yet been xc schooling but happily goes through water and pops a small ditch whilst out hacking.
He enjoys his hacking and is polite and manerly. He’s happy to go on his own but would say he’s more confident in company as he hasn’t done a lot of it. Saying that he is very good in traffic!
He’s very kind and exceptionally well behaved, very easy to do in all aspects on the ground, loading, farrier and at arena hires etc.
He is big and rangy and still weak in places but with time and the right training he will be a really talented horse. One that would be suited to a range of jobs, eventing, show jumping, hunting. He does have a brain and is switched on so he does need a home where he will have a job. He’s definitely more suited to a competition home, competent amateur or professional. He still is green and needs educating correctly therefore he is not for a novice or nervous rider. He’d be a good buy for an experienced person to produce into a real quality horse for any job.
