Description
~ Banksy (Mr Banks) ~ 🌟PC/ALLROUNDER/HAPPY HACKER🌟 Approx 15.1hh 9YO Standardbred Gelding (never raced or broken to drive) Banksy is the sweetest character, thrives off attention and cuddles, always wants to be with you and see what's going on! Will stand to be groomed all day long. Loves to learn and please, will try his best for you. He was bought for myself to produce having previously been miss sold. He was initially quite nervous and found everything very new. He was with his breeder until 8YO In a field unbroken so this is completely understandable. We have spent lots of time working through all aspects of being a good citizen and he is now a pleasure to have around and is much more settled. All previous behaviour will be discussed with anyone interested. All of his ground work and backing process has been completed by myself in the past year so full ridden history known. Hacking: His favourite activity is hacking. He loves going to explore new places. He's good in all traffic and kept on a working farm so used to large machinery and livestock. He's been to the beach and in the sea, even going for a swim! Will go first or last. Doesn't get over excited in open spaces or large groups he stays the same and trots/canters politely on a loose rein. He is a pleasure in company, even if other horses get wound up or spook it doesn't affect him, and he just keeps tootling along. Alone he still needs work on his confidence but I do take him out by myself and this is improving. Schooling: His schooling has come on leaps and bounds in the last few months. He is still green and sometimes wiggly but he will walk, trot, canter and stop sweetly. Enjoys polework exercises and he parks at the mounting block for you to get on. Just starting to learn to come into a contact. Being a standardbred his paces are walk/trot/canter but the canter is still a work in progress. He tries his very best but can still get his legs mixed up and it becomes a bit of a tranter! He has never been trained to pace so doesn't do this as a gait. Jumping: This little guy has a cracking pop on him! Recently started jumping and he loves it. Just been introduced to fillers and despite giving them some room he took it all in his stride jumping everything first try. Honest as they come, and careful, will jump out of trot or canter. Currently popping around 70/80cm. Has seen steps, water and some small XC fences too. Liberty/groundwork: I like to teach all my horses basic liberty and Banksy really enjoys this. He's an Incredibly quick learner. He will follow in walk/trot, stop and back up all at liberty. He knows turn on the forehand, parks at the mounting block and understands to give to pressure. He is good to do in all ways, regularly handled and ridden by a 13 year old girl also. He is barefoot but good for farrier, hasn't been shod but believe he could be if required. Loads himself, clipped loose in his stable, perfect to bath. Will live out or in, good with other horses. Up to date on teeth, farrier, vaccinations etc *Please note, as above he has only been broken in for less than a year so despite him being a 9YO, his experience level is closer to that of a 5YO and he is still green. For this reason he is not suitable for novice or nervous riders* videos and more photos available on request Based south Leicestershire Transport available Please contact me for more info ☺️ 📱07342 179 024
