'Whitewater' (Ted) is a 5-year-old bay gelding who retired from racing in October 2023. I bought him about two months ago as a project for pleasure riding. He is not sound under saddle on the near foreleg and after vet assessment, nerve blocks and x-rays, the cause is unknown. I can't keep a horse that can't be ridden and don't have the space to turn him out for a long break. He has a great nature, not spooky, not hot-headed, is respectful on the ground and easy to do anything with. The four times I rode him, he never put a foot wrong and enjoyed his rides. You can put a tarpaulin over his body and he will walk over it with no issues. He likes water and doesn't hesistate to get in a creek for a play and swim. His riding career has not been completely ruled out and if you could get him sound he would make a great eventer as he is brave, bold, sensible and trainable. For now he would be suitable as a paddock friend, lead-line or therapy horse. He is up to date with Hendra and 2in1 vaccines, worming, dentistry and shod every 5 weeks. Please no time wasters and I am happy to discuss him further if you are genuinely interested.
