16.1 TB 6yr old gelding

Still available due to timewasters
Looking for a very experienced, patient home for this handsome 16.1hh, 7-year-old bay Thoroughbred gelding.
He came over from Ireland and, as far as I am aware, has never raced or been in training.
I want to be completely transparent about him. He is an extremely timid, sensitive horse who is genuinely frightened of people. He is not nasty or aggressive, but he needs someone who understands nervous horses and is prepared to build his confidence slowly.
I’ve owned him for around four months. When he arrived, even basic handling was extremely difficult. With lots of patience I can now headcollar him, tack him up and lunge him, which shows that he can learn and build trust with someone.
He is not being sold as a ridden horse. He is a project and will need an experienced person to continue his groundwork and eventually start his ridden education if appropriate. Absolutely not suitable for a novice or child.
When relaxed, he’s a lovely-looking, athletic horse with a nice way of going. I genuinely think there’s a very nice horse underneath the nerves for the right person.
No passport currently. He is microchipped and the microchip traces back to Weatherbys Ireland. This will be fully disclosed to any prospective buyer.

Home is very important. I’m not interested in passing him from pillar to post, so please only enquire if you have the experience, patience and facilities for this type of horse.
