HP Spiderman is a stunning 16.3hh (bay with LOTS of bling) rising 8yr old gelding by Universal Ruler.
Spider is up for sale due to absolutely no fault of his own. He’s a stunning boy with bucketloads of scope and potential for the higher * classes. He came off the track in 2020 where he had a good letdown before slowly commencing his off the track training. Spider has competed at numerous 80cm events, has now progressed to 95cm and has been training 1* easily.
We have taken our time going up the grades with spider as he was very slow to mature and he can be overwhelmed when pushed to fast, but he is still young and has plenty of time. Spider spent a lot of time in 2022 training with Sophie Warren as we felt he was worth the time and money to invest in his future and to give him the best chance of success.
Spider has attended many clinics, including one with International legend Lucinda Green, who noted that he had international potential.
SJing and XC he is an absolute machine… lots of power but also manageable in just a basic snaffle. Dressage was his weakest phase as he would get tense in the warmup, however he is getting much better now. Judges have always commented that’s he’s got a very bright future ahead of him.
Spider does windsuck, but only if yarded. This does not affect his weight, he is a fantastic doer. Out in the paddock he’s fine. Perfect to catch, for farrier, worming, floating etc etc. He is a big love bug… honestly he is the cutest horse ever to live!
Our original plan was to get Spider up to at least 1* before advertising him, but unfortunately we’ve had to make the call to cut down on numbers, so Spider is looking for an ambitious rider who wants to go to the top.
