Hongre de selle chaudement élevé, patient et bien élevé (ancien cheval d'école)

Our dear gelding Bosse (14 years old) is looking for his forever home with an owner who will make him their number one.

Bosse is 15.9 hands tall and came to us three years ago. During this time, he has been part of our small riding school, helping mainly beginners and riders returning to riding to learn the basics. He has always been very patient in these lessons.

Due to his trotter lineage, he finds cantering a bit challenging. However, it works well under an experienced rider. After a weather-related winter break, we gradually reconditioned him, and he is currently back in lessons or being ridden by his 15-year-old riding partner.

He is absolutely sound and easy to shoe (including Flex) and load, and he is even handled and groomed by younger children here.

He tends to be quite dominant in the herd. I would prefer him to be kept in a paddock with a few mares or lower-ranking geldings. He is very hardy and uncomplicated.

The paddock is especially important because he tends to kick against the door during feeding time. This behavior occasionally causes him to be slightly lame, as these kicks can trigger inflammation in the sacroiliac joint (diagnosed by the vet). With willow bark and a week of ground work, he usually recovers quickly. 

This issue is particularly challenging for us as a very small riding school, since the ponies then have to take over his lessons.

This is also the reason why we have made the difficult decision to rehome him.

Accessories for him can be purchased cheaply if desired.

With professional support, I could also see him suitable for reintegration riders. However, he is not a pure beginner’s horse. He is only available for leisure riding.

Priority is given to suitable home over price. 

If you are genuinely interested, I look forward to receiving a message with a brief introduction about yourself. Feel free to ask questions via private message.
