15.2hh perfect project horse

Overview

Fletcher is sadly looking for a new home. Sold from field.

He is an 11yr old, dark bay thoroughbred gelding standing at 15.2/3hh. He’s a happy hacker who has been out of work the past year. Although he hasn’t done a lot of schooling, he is very quick to pick things up as he loves to please! He has popped a small jump or two with me but we’ve never tried a course – he does seem to have good scope.

Fletch is a very sweet, sensitive horse who always tries his best. He is good with dogs, will stand for farrier, vet and dentist and is good in most traffic although needs a little reassurance with tractors and lorries if they come from behind.

He is happy to be stabled or live out 24/7 alone or with company. He hacks alone or in company and will go first or last. He can nap a little if out alone but only until you’re away from the yard then he’s quite forward going. He has been cantered through open fields, with and without livestock and is generally very sensible but can have the odd buck so he will only go to an experienced home.

Fletch is good to catch (comes to call) and tack up. He can get a little headshy especially in the summer with all the flies. He has been ridden by a complete beginner and a confident teen however I feel he would benefit most from an experienced one to one home. Unfortunately, due to not having our own transport, Fletch has only been loaded in a trailer a handful of times so will need worked on.He has arthritis in both hocks, however, this hasn’t affected him so far, other than having to pick up his feet a certain way. He really needs to build up his topline as he likes to pretend he’s a giraffe most of the time!

Fletch loves a cuddle and a scratch and will happily follow you around the field. He has no vices. He is up to date with all his vaccinations (due September) and wormer.

Fletcher is the most loving horse when you’ve got his trust and will go far in the right hands. I genuinely wish I could keep him but my own back issues mean I can’t give him the time and exercise that he deserves.
