14.3hh 5yo part Arab Gelding – Sweet, Sensitive kind gelding

3 🥕🥕🥕 firm.

Location: Newark

​Stunning, beautifully moving 14.3hh 5-year-old part arab part sports horse gelding looking for a dedicated, quiet home where he can be given the time and consistency he deserves.

His Dad is JT Roulette an arab endurance horse. Mum is an event type. He isnt registered but Dad is on DNA database.

​I bought him largely from the heart because he reminded me so deeply of my old horse who I had 26 years and miss so dearly.

However, due to my own health challenges and physical limitations following surgery, I simply do not have the time, physical strength, or confidence to give a young, sensitive horse the education he needs.

I want to be clear I haven't attempted to do anything with him since he came to me in June. So he's not had a bad experience. He's been a pretty field pet for me so far.

He deserves a long-term home with someone who understands sensitive breeds and wants to build a genuine partnership, not a quick turn-around.

I've had nothing but producers message me. I'd love to see his journey but I won't be a pest.

Roo is a truly sweet-natured boy at heart with no malice whatsoever. He is non-bargy, respects your space, and does not drag or pull on the ground. He is polite and sweet. He will walk over to you in the field he isn't do shy he doesnt come over.

​Like many Arabs, he is an emotionally sensitive and naturally cautious character. He flinches with big sudden movements at times and can be hyper-aware in new situations. But he isn't what I'd call spooky. His recovery rate is very quick.

He may look but he moves on calmly very quickly.

Conversely is pretty bold being led away on his own and down the lane suggesting he is quite self assured and not clingy.

I feel his cautiousness is around humans he doesn't know. Shy if you like.

​He was lightly backed as a 4-year-old prior to coming to me, but he has done minimal work since and has not been restarted under saddle here. His previous owner had him from a foal and considered him one of the easiest she backed. But i didn't know him as a 4 year old

He is what I consider a pretty blank canvas to be re-backed/re-educated from scratch but should be straightforward if done correctly. I am not a fan of aversives being a canine behaviourist so I am looking for a sympathetic handler/rider.

He just needs someone who says "I got you and we can do this" and he will take your lead as he very much wants to work with you. Not against you.

He lunges nicely in a headcollar. He accepts tack with zero drama.

Clean legs

Moves straight

No sarcoids

Seen physio

Seen dentist

Regularly trimmed by farrier. Good for all.

Roo is not a plug-and-play ride and is not suitable for beginners or nervous handlers. He needs a calm, experienced, private home where he will be given time to bond and settle. But will be a lifelong best friend for someone wanting a sweet, willing and beautiful gelding

I'm not looking for any home. I am looking THE home.
