Dressage Schoolmaster looking for quieter life

Hanoverian · Chestnut · Gelding · 18 years · 17hh / 173cm

TinTin is the kindest of gentle giants. He is a true middle weight horse and a favourite on the yard. Imported from Germany as a 5y.o he has some of the best dressage breeding possible, by Danone 1.

He is a professional in the arena and knows his job inside and out. He has earned himself over 500 BD points in his competitive career.

He is now in need of a quieter life, mainly hacking.

He has been under veterinary treatment earlier this year which I am happy to discuss with potential buyers. He has responded well to treatment and with the correct daily management and shoeing he has a lot to offer.

On the yard he is super easy to do, good to stable, groom, shoe, clip. He has lived out but really he prefers his creature comforts and a stable to come into when the weather gets unpleasant!

He can turnout out with others or in individual paddocks. He forms bonds with other horses easily.

He is up to date with his vaccinations, shod every 5/6 weeks. Up to date with teeth and physio.

He is a pleasure to hack alone or in company. Easy in open spaces and enjoys a controlled canter without getting fizzy. Good with traffic. He has been known to have a look at cattle and sheep due to having spent most of his life hacking around arable land. This involves just looking though nothing nasty. I have never known him to rear or buck.

He can do a little light schooling and is great for helping a rider to understand feel one connection. He has all the lateral moves established as you would expect for a horse of his level. However I think his flying changes days are probably over.
