Rare Opportunity
16hh 9yo Bay WB Gelding
Ultra athletic with ability to specialise in high level dressage or show jumping.
Danz has show jumped up to 125, winning jumping competitions in WA, SA & VIC. He is a very careful horse with fabulous technique & loads of scope for higher heights. He is light on his feet and happy to jump angles, and may well suit a professional show jumper to go up the grades with. His Dam is Belcam Acushla with Argentinus lines.
Danz is well educated, straightforward & a real pleasure to train on the flat. He has a soft light mouth, finds laterals easy and absolutely loves flying changes. He moves well with a particularly good canter, has been beautifully behaved in dressage competition & is training Medium level with potential for FEI level competition. His sire is a Grand Prix horse D-Dur.
Danz has competed 1* Eventing.
Danz is extremely sound - he was very thoroughly vetted when I purchased him with excellent X-rays, and has recently been checked over by one of VICs top performance horse vets and given the all clear. There is no foot leg or body part that is causing any concern!
A horse of this calibre rarely comes on the market, so yes there is a catch. Danz can be spooky / nap in an annoying (but not dangerous) way. Ie stubbornly not going forward towards something he is suspicious of. This can be frustrating both in a home environment & at competition and because of this his competition record is rather inconsistent. He will need a rider willing to take on this challenge.
Thankfully he is not horse shy, usually extremely calm & easy in warm ups, and is good with traffic.
Danz is an easy traveller, self loads, stands at float all day, good to shoe worm etc.
This truly is a rare opportunity for an ambitious rider to be able to afford a sound, educated, experienced high quality performance horse.
Danz is a wind sucker but doesn’t affect his weight. His price is well under what I paid for him & is only a reflection of his quirk, not his ability or future prospects.
Finding the best suited home is a priority, preferably before April due to travel plans.
