⭐️FOR SALE⭐️

TB, 16.2hh, 14yo, Handsome Liver Chesnut, Gelding.

This is a very sad sale of our stable stalwart due to owner being currently out of action for the foreseeable. So the hard decision has been made to sell this sweet natured gentleman.  

He will ideally be suited to an active, competent, 5* home. He has had a successful racing career and finished with clean limbs. He jumps for fun, hacks alone or in company, good in traffic and used to farm life. He is a forward going confident persons ride.  

He is a gentleman in the stable, good to box, shoe, catch, clip, etc. He has been out of training since last year, was due to come back into work with the idea of reschooling him to possibly go team chasing, eventing and he is smart enough to go ROR showing but due to owners current situation he will be sold as he stands hence he is at the bargain price of
£3750 ono.

Cold Steel ran in his first National Hunt Flat race yesterday at Exeter. The conditions were very tough and the New Years Day meeting was very busy, despite this he coped extremely well and we were very pleased for him to stay on for 5th place under a ride from Peter (Fionn) Summers. He took everything in yesterday and will certainly have learnt a lot, we look forward to getting him out again on better ground. We are very grateful to his owners Jackie and Neil Mansbridge.
