Introduction: Google is an absolute delight to ride, handle and compete. He was started by a professional and has ridden on and off by amateur riders his whole life. He has excelled and progressed beautifully - competing successfully to 120 level with amateurs - and 130 plus with a professional rider. He presents a wonderful opportunity for a buyer to purchase a sound, sane and rideable horse which is very much ‘schoolmaster safe’.
Conformation: Google is a wonderful example of the modern performance horse - compact, athletic and refined. His paces display elasticity, power and activity suitable to progress up the levels.
Education, riding and experience: Google is very well educated on the flat. He has automatic flying changes and laterals, making him rideable and adjustable on course and a potential stand out as a straight dressage horse. Google was bought to event but doesn’t ‘read’ big drops into water well and as such, is looking for a non-eventing or lower level (EVA95 and below) eventing home.
Google is willing and responsive as well as very competitive against the clock. He is exceedingly brave, honest and careful around the course and totally trustworthy too. Google is very tolerant of a miss up to 120 level.
Google is an absolute stable favourite and is loved by everyone he meets. He is tolerant of rider mistakes, well educated and always aims to please. Google is the type of horse you ‘can put your grandma on for a trail ride!’ He is an all round lovely horse with an outstanding temperament. Google is laid back under saddle, willing but not at all hot or forward.
Google is currently in work and competing.
Handling: Google is patient and well mannered on the ground to rug, wash, shoe etc.He is very easy to travel in float or truck. Google can be caught and handled by kids. He stands quietly for the farrier and vet or to be clipped.
Behaviour: Google has traveled all over NSW, QLD, SA and VIC. He is happy in big city show environments as well as being stabled in basic ag show situations with fireworks every night. He travels well - loads and unloads without fuss and eats and drinks well when away from home.
Google does not have any vices and is not at all ‘matey’. He enjoys socialising with people and other horses and is fun to have around!
Feeding and management: Google does not have any special feeding or management requirements. Google is happy to be stabled, yarded or paddocked on his own or in a herd situation. He is easy care and zero fuss!
Medical history: Google does not have any known medical issues. He is injury free and issue free.
Rider Suitability: Google would suit a competitive junior or adult rider who is looking for a straightforward and competitive horse to teach them as they go up the show jumping levels. he would also potentially suit a professional to take up the level to World Cup qualifiers and Grand Prix classes.
Reason for sale: Google is for sale as it doesn't completely suit star level eventing. His owners know that he has an incredible amount to offer his next rider.
