Stunning 16.3 chestnut gelding seeks long term loan home / with view to buy


For very sad personal reasons, I am looking for a wonderful home for Harry (registered name Shamiro M). He is by Ramiro Z out of an Irish Sports Horse mare, 8 years old, 16.3hh chestnut with 3 white socks, a lovely crooked blaze, wonderful temperament, affectionate, lovely big paces (always scores 8 for those), loves hacking, hunting (has been out with the Berks and Bucks Draghounds), cross country and show jumping.
Harry can be cold backed - he was diagnosed with kissing spines two years ago, which has been very successfully treated - and my vet's prognosis is very good as long as he gets regular work to keep him fit and strong. Harry competes at affiliated dressage, cross country, show jumps confidently and is an enthusiastic hunter. He is excellent to hack alone or in company, box, shoe, clip etc and very easy to handle. I have recently spoken to my vet again, and he has confirmed that he sees no reason why Harry could not embark on a hunting or eventing career (to pre-novice level) - but he will not be able to withstand the physical strain that advanced level dressage would put on his hocks.
He would be ideal for someone wanting to event, hunt or be successful at riding club competitions. More information, pictures and videos are availble on request from 01491 417706 or Martina.Welch@invescoperpetual.co.uk
