Dexter Full loan to then sell 5yr thoroughbred gelding. He is a pleasure to be around and easily trained. He's good to shoe (can be fidgety), box (gets very sweaty) bath and groom and is good with the farrier and the vet, however isn't too keen on dogs and tractors. In the past he has been used for flat and hurdle racing. I’ve had him for a year and brought him unseen. I was not able to handle him even with just putting a head collar on him, but consistent ground work and in hand training he has come such along way. He is polite and doing well with his manners as I don’t let him run all over me as he is a big boy and can’t push his weight around but does have his quirks as a standard 5yr old would (I’m more than happy to talk about). Dexter is lovely to hack out in company but lacks confidence on his own so relies a lot on another horse for the confidence. He is lovely and calm In the arena as you can see with me riding bareback, this is since getting over the fear of a mountain block quite recently and changed him majorly. I have put my friend who has never ridden before on him and he shows his gentle side to them. I have started building up in trot with Dexter which he is picking up amazingly but going to quick at once can stress him out so it’s all about taking time and making sure he fully understands the task being given. Dexter is a PROJECT please don’t expect the world from him as he is still learning and has a long way to go but is willing to put in the effort in the right hands. This sale is due to me going into collage and not having the time to keep going in his journey. Dexter is a wonderful and lovable boy who just wants to be understood hence me making sure he is going to the 100% right home who will get him like I do.
Has passport, up to date with vacs, wormer, vets, farrier.
Rugs, saddle, bridle, etc all go with him.
