✨🤎 HAYMITCH THE EVENTER IN THE MAKING 🤎✨

Approx. 16hh | 8-Year-Old Bay Thoroughbred Gelding | Hereford

If you are looking for a genuine, kind, beautifully produced Thoroughbred who is already incredibly well established. Haymitch deserves your attention.

This is a horse who has been properly produced, properly exposed and given the experience to give his next rider an enormous head start. ✨

Haymitch is a super sweet, laid-back gelding with an exceptionally kind temperament. He is calm, beautifully mannered and uncomplicated to have around, but underneath that sensible exterior is a horse with real athleticism, enthusiasm and a genuine love for his job.

🤎 CROSS COUNTRY A REAL HIGHLIGHT

Haymitch has been extensively XC schooled and absolutely loves it.

He is brave, genuine and incredibly willing, tackling a wide variety of fences and questions with confidence. He enjoys having something to think about and gets better and better the more he sees.

He isn’t a horse who needs convincing to jump he wants to get to the other side.

He has also been out competing at hunter trials, gaining valuable experience in a competition environment and proving that his XC schooling translates beautifully when out in the real world.

For someone wanting an eventing horse, this is a huge advantage.

Rather than starting with a blank canvas, you have a horse who has already had extensive exposure to XC, hunter trials, open spaces and different environments.

✨ He is practically ready-made for someone wanting to go eventing. ✨

His athletic jump, bravery and natural confidence make him an incredibly exciting prospect for grassroots eventing, Riding Club eventing and beyond.

🤎 AND NOW… HUNTING & HOUND EXERCISE

Haymitch has also been hound exercising and out on escorted rides, and this is another area where he really comes alive.

He loves being out in the open, seeing the world and being part of the action. He has the sensible brain you want when riding in company, whilst still having enough enthusiasm and presence to make it exciting.

He is now being taken into the autumn trail-hunting and hound exercise season, giving his next rider the opportunity to continue building that valuable experience in a completely different environment.

That sort of exposure is invaluable for a future eventer and Haymitch is taking it all in his stride. 🤎

✨ UNDER SADDLE

Haymitch is beautifully schooled with three balanced, expressive paces.

He is much more “woah” than “go”, riding in a lovely rhythm without being sharp, hot or strong.

On the flat he is straightforward, genuine and confidence-giving, whilst when you take him XC or hunting you see the extra gears, athleticism and enthusiasm that make him so exciting.

He absolutely loves a fence and has an athletic, expressive jump with plenty of scope.

There is a lovely natural confidence to his jumping he sees a fence, understands his job and gets on with it.

🤎 WHO IS HE FOR?

Haymitch has the temperament to be incredibly approachable, and a competent novice would comfortably enjoy him on the flat and hacking.

However, his jumping ability and athleticism deserve to be utilised.
