Name: Blue Chaparral affectionately known as Dennis
Breed: Thoroughbred (2 starts 2 slow)
Age: Rising 11
Height: 16.2hh
Gender: Gelding
Rider Suitability: Novice to experienced
Location: Wang Wauk β Mid North Coast NSW
β¨ Handsome, Versatile Gelding β Safe & Genuine Allrounder β¨
Dennis had a short racing career (only 2 starts) before retiring early, and has since gone on to become a lovely, reliable allrounder.
He is a pleasure to have around with a kind, willing nature and an affectionate personality. A big, free-striding horse with three lovely paces, he is soft in the mouth, moves freely, and stays light in the bridle while taking great care of his rider. He has been well educated on the flat.
Previously shown, but no longer suited to that lifestyle, as it was decided it wasnβt in his best interest to be holding a consistent frame for multiple events due to his laryngoplasty. He is now enjoying a quieter and more versatile routine. He is well travelled and used the being tied at the float for long periods.
β
Easy to catch, shoe, and float.
Previously shod, he is currently barefoot and going well.
Since being here, he has enjoyed plenty of trail riding both alone and in company, has been introduced to obstacles and cavaletti, and has started small jumps. He has also been led from a buggy and his flatwork has been consistently maintained.
Also has shown to be great with my kids, chickens, dogs, machinery and motorbikes.
He has proven to come back into work well after a spell and has no known vices.
An adaptable and genuine horse, he would suit a rider looking for a safe, low-level allrounder to enjoy a variety of activities in a relaxed home.
He has been paddocked alone alongside other horses for several years. Since arriving here, he has integrated well with some horses given time, although he can be selective initially.
β¨ He did undergo a laryngoplasty (tie-back surgery) in his earlier years; however, this has caused no issues, and routine awareness is advised.
No other health or soundness concerns are known.
Seeking a kind, committed home for this lovely horse.
β¨ Vet checks welcome at purchasers expense.
