Ace is an extremely reliable, educated and safe schoolmaster. He is a fantastic eventer and very enthusiastic about doing his job well. 

Ace took me from eventing 85cm all the way to 1* and 110cm SJ within the span of 2 years. 

There has never once been a moment for me in which I have felt even the slightest bit afraid when riding this beautiful boy. Ace knows his one job is to keep me safe no matter what.

It has been so hard for me to be able to put up this advertisement, Ace has been the bestest companion and truly a part of my family. 

The reason I’ve decided to sell him is because he has recently been diagnosed with arthritis. This means he will need yearly injections in order to keep him in work. 

However this won't affect his performance, he is completely sound.

I want him to be with an owner who is just wanting to jump at a low level up to 85 or possibly 95cm depending on how he’s feeling. He is happy to keep competing as he loves it!

Ace has beautiful flat work movements and is a fantastic and safe jumper in both the cross country and Showjumping ring. 

Ace is also an amazing trail horse who is happy to go for a trail ride gallop and/or just chill with the rains on the buckle. He isn’t scared of other animals, cars, water or construction work. I often ride him on the road and in the bush and he has never had a problem with cars, buses or trucks zooming past him. I am even able to trail him bareback with nothing but his bridle on!  Ace is great with kids, in fact I’ve had my younger sister from the age of 8-11 ride him and we even jumped him double bareback!!

Ace is also really good on the lunge, he also has lots of experience with pony club, and is great with loud, “scary” environments.

Ace is also really easy when it comes to where he stays, he loves to stay in a paddock full time with a shelter however he doesn’t mind to be in a stable at night if necessary. He isn’t clingy with other horses so he doesn’t mind when his friends leave. Ace is a great paddock buddy and wont start fights with other horses.

Overall Ace is the chillest dude ever and loves his job!! This is a heartbreaking sale for me, which is why I want him at the best home possible <3

Also willing to provide all his tack for the same price.
