Dash
10yo | 14.3hh | Appaloosa x Arabian
Spunky, talented, and quiet – the ultimate competition mount searching for his forever home.
Standing at the perfect height of 14.3hh and aged 10 years, Dash is the unicorn that rarely becomes available. He is a much-loved horse looking for a new family due to a change in his owner's circumstances.
Dash is a pleasure to handle and easy to do everything with. He is up to date with dental care, hoof care, bodywork, and worming, and is ready to find his next partner.
Under Saddle:
Dash is a balanced, confident, and talented ride. He travels softly and supplely, responding beautifully to sensitive leg aids. He has comfortably competed at Level 2–3 Dressage and shows excellent trainability.
While he has had limited jumping experience, he approaches it with confidence as though he has been doing it his whole life. He is currently schooling around 70cm and has the potential to progress higher with the right rider and training.
Dash has experience in a variety of environments, including:
• Competition settings
• Cross-country schooling
• Indoor arenas
• Trail riding
• Road and bush riding
Trail Riding & Temperament:
Dash has been extensively exposed to trail riding and is reliable around highways, roadworks, dogs, wildlife, and general traffic. He has also been used as a babysitter and lead pony for young or inexperienced horses, handling the role exceptionally well—even with nervous horses crowding him from behind.
He is happy to lead or follow and is not prone to nasty or reactive spooks. He may occasionally have a look at something, but remains sensible and manageable.
Management:
As Dash has pink skin, he requires appropriate sun protection during high UV days to keep him comfortable and healthy.
Quirks:
• Can become a little impatient when tied up, though this is being worked on and is very manageable.
• Can be slightly concerned around water. He is never silly, and with patient handling (such as starting hosing at his feet and working upwards) he settles well.
Suitable Home:
Dash is a quiet and straightforward ride; however, he is not suited to a beginner rider. We are seeking a balanced rider with soft hands who will bring out the very best in him and continue his education and enjoyment.
Viewings and vet checks are welcome.
