“He/she is too green”

This is something I often hear when people enquire and I send videos of suitable horses. These horses are 3/4/maybe 5yos…. I am glad they are green!! And I will never apologise for that.

It means they haven’t been overproduced and have spent lots of time in the field growing and developing between little bursts of work. It also hopefully means that they will go on to have long and happy lives as strong, sound individuals - able to do their jobs for as long as possible.

Yes - our young horses will always be “behind” others in their age group and those you see at the big sales/age classes at shows…. But what does “behind” really mean at that age? They always catch up with their peers by 6/7 if you have spent the time doing the basics correctly and have a well rounded, soft, supple horse who wants to work.

You don’t prove anything at 3/4/5 you just use up some of the finite number of jumps that I believe each horse is born with. That’s one nugget of wisdom I gleaned from a very experienced horseman in my formative years - don’t use those jumps up jumping pointless fences as a young horse.

Get out of the arena, go hacking, work on a variety of surfaces to build soft tissues and never be afraid to turn the horse away for a couple of months. They will come back mentally and physically stronger as a result. Let them into big open spaces with friends and allow them to just be horses for a little while longer.

There will be many years ahead to go competing if you take it slowly in the first few. Photo of Donal with a few 3 and 4yos growing slowly in the fields of Ballinasloe ❤️

PLEASE READ TO THE END

He is one of the nicest, quietest, kindest horses on the yard!
He has a laid back temperament by far an old head on young shoulders. Takes everything in his stride, jumping a small course of fences show jumping and cross country. He hacks out alone or in company not phased by new surroundings been to a few training shows he always comes out with a laid back but willing attitude to life. Hunts in a snaffle with impeccable manners

He would suit a competent novice. Great in traffic

Still green as expected for his age. Has 3 lovely correct paces improving daily

Has been seen now and again to windsuck in the stable, he is used to living out this reflects his price!

Good to box, shoe, clip etc
No time wasters

Beautiful athletic blood type horse with a fantastic attitude to work. Carefully produced building solid foundations. He has a lovely attitude to life a pleasure to deal with in or out the stable

Three correct free flowing paces, with a brave and careful jump, light in the hand giving a great feel, he is a horse that wants to please!

Has been to various shows, and area hires xc schooled. Hunting with incredible manners in a snaffle
A horse with a good engine and covers the ground would make a super eventer / show jumper or general alrounder. Hack alone or in company. Good to do in all ways
