Thoroughbred Gelding for Sale in Hanover, IL
Cute and easy OTTB named Benthinkinboutit--"Charlie." 6 years old, 16+ hh, bay with star. Good feet, good weight, easy going attitude, on full turn out. Off the track well over a year and is progressing amazingly fast, you would not know he was an ex race horse but for his athletic ability.
Nice easy tempo, respectful of the snaffle bit and slows nicely. Carries himself well, bending, responds to leg, leg yields, starting to stretch. Lovely well balanced canter, good at leads, flying changes. Not jumpy or spooky. No problems with ground poles, cavelletti, etc. Well started over fences and doesn't rush, stays straight and steady, getting leads nicely afterwards. Has been brave over a variety of small jumps and combinations, 3 foot is easy! Calm and quiet, clips and easy to work around. Really nicely balanced all around--mentally and physically! Good on trail rides, easy, steady and calm. going through water. Can get up and go, or long rein and relaxed. Ready to show this spring, an excellent prospect now!! Vet owned and selected off the track, was originally asking $8,500 for Charlie, I just lowered the price, would consider offers over the winter. I would love to find him a good home ASAP.
Competed at two mini events this summer. He won his first ever Beginner Novice class by his dressage score. Was 3rd at the second show. He was awesome to ride!! Obedient and calm and flexible in dressage, brave, willing, eager and clean for the jumping. What a fun horse! Make an offer on your next best friend!
Currently schooling Novice questions, banks, combinations, increased height, etc.
