Introduction: This sale presents a fantastic opportunity to buy a beautiful and talented young warmblood - with possibly the kindest nature of any young horse we have listed - perfect for a professional or capable amateur rider! 

Bloodlines: Royal Armani was bred by Greig and Christine Keily; sired by Valhalla, competed by Jamie Kermond, out of the Keily’s fabulous mare Royal Dior - by Ideal De Valette.

Education, skills and experience: Armani has an exceptional temperament, showing trainability, willingness, a calm nature and desire to please. 

Armani is well educated on the flat to novice level dressage. He has beautiful paces and has commenced lateral work.

Armani has a fabulous canter and is jumping 105. He does need support to the fences as he sometimes has a good look at ‘fill’.

Armani has been used to muster cattle as well as open and close gates. He is a lovely, sensible allrounder.

General demeanor under saddle: Armani has a snaffle mouth and willingly collects when asked correctly. He is balanced, reliable and fun to ride. Armani loves people and being ridden. He is willing and desires to please. He is not forward or sharp, so is therefore tolerant of rider mistakes. He can be competed, ridden bareback and ridden on trails, with company, without issues. 

Current workload/ fitness: Armani is currently in work. 

Handling: Armani is safe and easy to handle - to catch, shoe, wash, saddle and travel - loads, travels calmly and unloads sensibly in a float and truck..

Behaviour: Armani is extremely affectionate and is an absolute pleasure to have around. He does not have any vices or quirks. He is safe to ride, without lunging.

Feeding and management: Armani is currently paddocked, fed a simple diet and hay. He is very economical to run - loves his tucker!

Medical history: Armani does not have any medical issues. Vet check available from October 2024.

Rider Suitability: Armani would be suitable for a capable rider who wants a gorgeous, straight forward young horse who will give much love and enjoyment.

Armani has been ridden by a range of people including capable teenagers, male and female riders. He is, however, a big horse so will not suit a novice or a child coming off a pony.

Reason for sale: Owner's circumstances have changed. He purchased Armani six months ago but is now a full time carer to his wife and does not have time to ride. This is a very sad sale. 

Armani’s owner says: Armani is a delight to handle on the ground - such a gentleman. He does have a huge personality, he is a character and a very happy horse. Armani LOVES people and being pampered. We are looking for a LOVING and CARING home for Armani - an appreciative buyer who  genuinely recognises - a good, sound, beautiful boy - when they see one.
