For Sale £6,000 Rocco
17.2 Holsteiner X (grandsire – Calvaro Z) Looking for his next best friend, ideally a confident amateur rider who can offer him a consistent routine and lots of love. This is a very sad sale due to a change in circumstances, he has been in current home since he left his breeder age 5 so full history known and the right home is an absolute must.
He has three beautiful, balanced established paces, show jumped at home up to 1.10m straightforward to jump, has been cross country schooling and again straightforward in everything he saw. Ridden in a snaffle at all time, lovely soft mouth, so he needs a quiet, sensitive rider.
Building a relationship and trust with him is most important, thrives on one to one and once you’ve built a bond with him, he’ll do everything he can to help you out. He’s a total sweetheart who loves attention and he truly wants to please, doesn’t need to be ridden everyday, can get back on after time off and warm up on a long rein, doesn’t need lunging etc beforehand.
He gains his confidence from having that relationship with his rider. Someone calm, kind, and confident is ideal. He’s hacks out alone or in company, only ever hacked off road and traveled in lorries.
He’s is barefoot, great to clip and to catch, he can be turned out with mares or geldings, doesn’t get stressed when left on own in field.
Family and work commitments forcing sad sale of much loved horse, been in current home since leaving breeder, backed just before turned 6 so low mileage for age.
