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 very adjustable, he is incredibly smart 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 your average children’s horse. He can bite during handling 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. He is a horse that I bonded with big time but he will still try to bite on occasion, generally around food. He enjoys attention and loves being groomed etc. 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. Loves hacking out but prefers to lead so would make a potential fox hunter staff prospect as well.

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. Lots of video available!
