Concento TW (Connor)
Conthargos x Centadel
17/17.1hh 11 year old (2015) Oldenburg gelding
Easy to handle on the ground. Good to catch. Falls asleep to clip. Easy peasy to load and travel. Will stand on the box for hours with no bother at all. Good to hack alone and in company. Doesn’t get strong or hot headed. Bonds strongly with his person and becomes like a very oversized Labrador with them. Thrives on a one to one relationship.
He does have a successful BS record to 1.30 with multiple wins at 1.20 and 1.30. We therefore bought him to do BS with my teenage son but he just doesn’t enjoy the pressure of competitive (BS) showjumping at 1.10/1.20. He is however very happy to showjump up to 1.10m at home and at clinics. Will take a miss and help his person out. Never panics or runs off if rider loses balance. Loves his grids and gymnastic jump work. Enjoys flatwork and polework clinics. Great for fun rides. Perfect high end, talented and very flashy looking, Riding Club all rounder. Been happily ridden by two lightweight amateur female riders for last 6 months.
Recently been doing lots of cross training – flat work, gym jump, grids, SJ and XC training on a surface and hacking. Loves to work, likes to use his brain and enjoys variety.
Been very sound for the two years we’ve owned him.
Can be spooky but never nasty or dangerous. My very petite 15 yo daughter hacks him out. Not suitable for a complete novice though simply due to his size and breeding.
