King is a 15h rising 5yo purebred dapple grey Connemara gelding with all Class 1 breeding
He shows unbelievable ability over fences, effortlessly schooling 1.20 with our rider with room for more
King is consistently very careful and honest to jump, regardless of the height. He is forgiving to rider errors, has a tireless work ethic, and truly loves to jump
He does best in a consistent program and enjoys forming a bond with one or two riders. He will run to greet you in the field and knicker when he sees you
He is outgoing, friendly, and enthusiastic; he loves going new places and is very self-confident, never spooky, and sensible to hack alone or in company
King always goes in a snaffle and is easy to adjust to a fence and ride in the contact
He is naturally forward-going, ‘more go than woah’ and sensitive to the aids without ever being bold. He has no buck or spook whatsoever and is very focused when jumping.
We have yet to find a fence he is intimidated by! He has no issue with water, fillers, liverpools, ditches, coffins, etc. He is extremely brave and will make a serious competition horse.
King has hunted and proves to be well behaved in open fields and around the hounds
Due to his athletic nature and consistent, careful technique over the fence, we do feel King is best suited to a rider who is comfortable on competition-type horses. His powerful jump could be intimidating for a novice, and he thrives best in a consistent work program.
We believe King is the ideal choice for an ambitious rider looking to develop a 1.20+ eventer or showjumper. He has a loveable, kind character and extreme talent for the top of the sport. We look forward to seeing him compete in the future!
King is straightforward to shoe, load, plait, wash, catch, and hack alone or in company. He is an athletic horse and not suited to those unaccustomed to riding and handling competition-types.
He has no vices, lumps or bumps and is open to any vetting.
