Quick jump today for this big bean, and time for him to go on the market!
Weiti Chakka is a tall, well bred, very patiently produced 7yr old gelding by Senator VDL out of successful Grand Prix showjumper Kahurangi Vin Rouge (Valiant)
Full up 16.3hh plus, well built guy, though he’s big he is uphill and rideable.
Chak has been very slowly produced due to his size and physical immaturity (as a youngster), never have I had a homebred horse who has taken so long to grow and fill out, but he has finally matured this past year and was well worth the wait. He looks like a super horse now rather than a giraffe meets broom handle.
He has been quietly schooled with some breaks here and there to grow, but this season he’s been going out to a few shows with our lovely rider Lily and jumping clear around 1.05m. He is very ready to get serious about life and step up. He is a class act, big moving, athletic and scopey. Very careful and clever, enjoys his job and has a good attitude. This horse has all the raw material needed to make a top class jumper.
A real Labrador, truly adores people and attention, he’s a big best friend. Good to shoe, drench, truck etc, hasn’t floated, he would be on the big side for a standard straight loader to be honest but I’m sure he could learn!
Chak is a really cool horse with a fabulous character about him, not just another horse! he can have a bit of a sense of humour from time to time and pull out some dance moves but nothing malicious and not something he does regularly, but he’s not one for a nervous or green rider. He is a big, green warmblood so needs guidance. A serious horse for serious sport.
Due to the fact we knew Chak would be aiming at the upper sport horse market we had a set of leg X-rays done on him before Lily set about bringing him on last year and he has a beautiful, clean set of images which we are of course happy to share with potential buyers.
A very sound, sweet horse with a big future ahead of him.
