5yo Eventing / Allrounder gelding

Lovely 5yo 15.3hh Thoroughbred gelding. (Race name: “Red Hot George”, by Fiorente).

Phillip has been in retraining for over a year since retiring sounds Jan 2025 and in full work for the upcoming event season.

Most of the hard work has been done in terms of knowing you have a nice minded, trainable young TB to work with that will turn a hoof to most things.

He has been produced with eventing in mind, with lots of outings, dressage and showjumping lessons, cross country schooling, clinics and low level comps while with us, and while he needs more exposure to be competitive, he has taken many different atmospheres in his stride. Good to hack alone and in company.

Phillip works in a frame with above average paces and started lateral work.

Phillip has also done lots of low level jumping up to 80cm with scope, excellent with water, ditches, steps etc.

Phillip is a sweet, friendly chap who only wants to please, great to handle, likes his food, and holds his weight pretty well (with hay and two basic feeds a day). Good to shoe and float.

Phillip is great in cross-ties, but he can pull back if tied up (fine in cross ties) if he gets a fright- so we put him in a yard when taking him out. A bit nervous to clip, but fine if you take your time and getting better.

Phillip could excel in most disciplines quite happily. Best suited to riders used to OTTs or sport horses. Only being sold as don’t think he would have enough scope beyond 1* (happy to be proven wrong!)
