Kestrel is a versatile and sporty cob that is fun, handy, Athletic, capable, and sensible. He hacks out alone or in company and is reliable around cattle, traffic, wildlife, and farm equipment. He rides, drives, and line drives through the cattle country with his dog and enjoys the sights. He’s happy exploring trails and open fields and rides comfortably in both English and Western tack. He is a lovely, willing jumper with a bright future in a variety of disciplines.
He has been regularly foxhunting this past season, hunting 1-2 times per week. He had been produced as a foxhunter with actual hunting mileage. He has been brought along as a foxhunter to truly make him a hunter, not just dropped in the hunt field. Has hunted in second and third field in big country. He handles hounds, groups of horses, and natural country, and happily W/T/C in company while popping over natural fences with an honest attitude. He crosses bridges, streams and rivers, is good in Rocky/rough terrain, and can do the hills with no issue. He is up for the task of taking on a days work of Foxhunting, long trail rides, or otherwise long working days or for the shorter, quick days.
Kestrel is also beautifully broke to drive. He stands patiently for harnessing and hitching, is soft in the lines, and responds well to voice commands whether you’re strolling at the walk or trotting around the farm.
With his disposition, capablitity, and true all-around potential. He would make a fantastic partner for an game older junior or ambitious adult looking for a fun, versatile horse to hunt, trail ride, drive, and enjoy, but would also make an excellent event prospect as well.
Kestrel is not at a point where he is going to be suited to beginners, timid riders, or inconsistent programs, but that is not a detriment or discredit to how enjoyable he is. Kestrel is best suited to confident intermediate riders in a program and above. He thrives in a consistent program with a confident rider. He has not offered to buck, bolt, rear or be dirty. He desires and deserves a pilot, not a passenger, to develop him further undersaddle.
