Eye Catching 16.3hh Gelding
Very eye catching 16.3hh 2016 Gelding Fully ROR eligible, raced p2p and over hurdles. Chase Outlaw retired 15th Dec 2023 after his last race sound and injury free, and came to me about a week after via Solway Racehorses. Lovely horse to look at with beautiful paces. Snaffle mouthed and well schooled with trainable temperament, good lateral movement and beautiful balance.
Lovely attitude to schooling and seems to really enjoy it whether in the field or arena. Has been out a handful of times to clinics and unaffiliated dressage competitions where he scored high 60-70% with super comments from the judge. Can still be buzzy when he comes off the lorry and into busy warm ups but soon settles when given a job. Has a decent jump and is very careful, can be spooky but always goes when asked. Been to SJ course hire and popped round a course of 80cm with fillers nicely but he just doesn’t seem to enjoy it as much when the fences get a bit bigger or more technical and I like to be towed into a fence.
He has jumped a couple of logs and been in the river for a paddle which he was fine with once he realised there were no crocodiles in it. Hacks alone and in company, great in traffic, can have a spook at leaves/logs/flowers/butterflies etc but as with the jumping, he will always go when told to get on with it and is not nappy in any way. He has the potential to really excel at dressage, showing and lower level riding club activities but he’s not naturally brave and I want to event and Team Chase so having patiently retrained him for the last 18 months it is time for him to find someone who has the same interests. He is an absolute delight to handle on the ground and good to shoe (and has decent feet!) Good to clip/load/travel/teeth etc. Holds condition well, lives in or out.
His current routine is out with 4 others at night and in for a few hours in the day for some hay whilst the grass isn’t growing. He will crib after his hard feed if there is something soft to do it on and will probably do it more for a week or so when he moves house. I didn’t know he did this when I purchased him but after a week it was barely noticeable so I’ve been happy to ignore it as he does what I ask when he’s with me, so it’s up to him what he does in his own time! Super smart horse who needs an experienced rider to continue his education off the track and give him a job that he enjoys which sadly for me I don’t think is going to be bombing round the countryside jumping solid objects and I would definitely consider a swap for one who does! No loans/LWVTB/payment plans/trials and does not come with tack. Not for a novice as he is a big blood horse with an engine who wants to work! Please WhatsApp or call if seriously interested.
