“For sale, not on sale. I know what I’ve got.”
And what I’ve got is a Thoroughbred that’s retired due to poor racing performance. And I see why.
He’s no superstar. Sound & sane to be moulded into a wonderful eventer, he has no desires or ambitions besides to be cradled like a baby.
He is quiet, he has no vices, but he’s also the teacher’s pet. He needs his hand held, he needs to be told he’s a good boy, and he loves to be in your bubble. He wants to know what games are on your phone, and when you’re having a solid D&M he’ll say “hey mum, watch this” thirty million fu***ng times- to only do a lil f**kass jump kick flip like he’s some sort of athlete. This is a joke. This is a scenario I’ve observed of someone’s kid, and his poor tired mum.
There’s nothing bad about this horse, but there’s also nothing really eye-catching. He’s just alright. I can’t fault him, and I really should price him like my others, but it’s a tough market for boring plain horses, and I’m also a poor tired mum.
He does all the right things. He’s easy to catch, lead, tie, float, blah blah blah blah blah blah. He’ll eat the rope while you’re holding in, he’ll nuzzle your face and pick your pockets and constantly annoy the f**k out of you.
I’ve not found a fault in him except that he is annoying. Sweet, but childish. I know he’s 4, I’m not actually having a dig, I’m just trying to make his ad interesting and eye catching to make up for what he lacks.
He’s good to have his teeth done, which have just been done today. He’s got a full set of shoes on and just been wormed. He had red light therapy last Friday and is sound, sane, safe.
He’s got no buck in him, no bite, rear, bolts, anything of the sort. He’s pulled back once, and he shied at my dog once. Recovers quickly and doesn’t use it as an excuse to shenanigan. You all know, if they shenan once- they’ll shenanigan.
He does become hot and a bit forward-moving when he’s coming home when ridden independently out of the trails. That is the only time I’ve ever seen him come to life. He’s done extensive bush & road riding, he’s prompt and straightforward and really enjoys being ott.
Other than that, he’s just a lazy little boy.
Nothing spectacular about him, but also nothing sinister. Just a good boy who needs someone who’s got experience being a boy mum. Cause these kids be goddamnnnn annoying (not mine, she’s a lil angel)😉
He’s been here 4 weeks, come down nicely and ready to take on a new “career”. Whether it be ARC & eventing, or just being a trail horse- I don’t think he’ll care. He’s got a good foundation to be moulded into a lovely hack, and he’s got no vices or problems simmering under the surface (I specialise in finding problems and disclosing them).
Ring me if you’re keen, I’m tired as hell and won’t reply to du***ss comments “location and price?!” 🤦♀️ some people do be dumb.
