7-year-old • 15.3h Thoroughbred gelding • The Plains, VA

A seriously talented, athletic little horse for the right rider who appreciates a sporty, versatile Thoroughbred.

This 15.3h, 7-year-old gelding has an impressive résumé both on the flat and over fences. He has Second Level dressage training, has a lead change, and finished an exceptional 9th at the 2023 Retired Racehorse Project Thoroughbred Makeover in Dressage as a 4 year old in a field of 100+ competitors.

Over fences, he is quick, careful and fun — a true pocket rocket with plenty of scope, agility and athleticism. He has successfully competed and won at local jumper shows and has also schooled cross-country, making him an exciting prospect for someone looking for a versatile horse with the ability to event as well.

He is forward-thinking and yet still has fantastic brakes and is super adjustable, he is intelligent and enjoys having a job. Despite his smaller stature, there is no shortage of horsepower here.

Important: While he has been ridden by my young daughter throughout the years that I have owned him, he is not being represented or sold as a children’s horse. He can bite during handling and is quirky under saddle at times and therefore requires an experienced rider and experienced handler who is comfortable setting appropriate boundaries. He will be best suited to a knowledgeable rider/handler or professional program that can appreciate his talent and manage his quirks. I don't say that lightly. He is a horse that I bonded with quite well but he will still try to bite me regardless of that. He enjoys attention and loves being groomed etc. Most of his moments are around food. Or when someone else enters the field and grabs another horse instead of him. He was emaciated when I got him off the track so he clearly has food issues. Oddly, he is always the lowest guy on the pecking order regardless of what field he is turned out in. He is very pleasant to other horses so I would bet he'd make a fantastic fox hunter.

A unique opportunity for someone wanting a genuinely accomplished, versatile OTTB with miles and lots of talent to continue to climb the levels yet at a budget friendly price.
