Longview Gateau (Gumby) Gumby is a delightful young gelding. He is a genuinely nice ‘person’ to be around. Gumby has the movement and the ‘look at me’ presence to be a seriously competitive performance horse. He also has an easygoing personality -  that promises to make him straight forward enough for a junior or amateur to educate and compete.

Bloodlines: Gumby is by Bundeschampionte Golden West who  has been a prolific producer of FEI pony  competitors and out of a TB mare Dunneaux. Dunneaux has an exceptional temperament  and her foals have all been delightfully easy to train. The breeders have retained a filly from Dunneaux for their own children.  

Education, handling and behaviour: Gumby is extremely affectionate and is an absolute pleasure to have around. He self  loads on the float, stands to be washed and he is easy to catch. Gumby stands to have his feet done without requiring anyone to hold his lead!

When Gumby was gelded and microchipped, the vets commented on how lovely he was to handle. The owner’s four  year old son can catch and lead him away from his paddock mates.  

Gumby has not shown any separation anxiety and will happily leave his friends or be left  behind (within reason.

Feeding and management: Gumby is currently paddocked and fed a nutritionally balanced diet - his breeder/ owner is an equine nutritionist.

Medical history: Gumby does not have any medical issues.

Future Rider Suitability: Gumby would be an ideal first young horse for someone to bring along themselves. He has a respectful, affectionate and laid back personality - as well as all the necessary ‘Life Skills’ and ground work already established.

Reason for sale: Gumby’s owner breeds a few foals a year and sells them to fabulous homes that appreciate foals of this breeding, temperament and trainability.
