Introduction

Charlie’s current owner bred him and has been part of every stage of his education. They share an exceptional bond, built over years of training and competing together. Their partnership has taken this tall, impressive Warmblood gelding to national competition in Para Dressage Grade V and a place on Equestrian Australia’s High Performance Squad.

Charlie is a kind, calm horse who enjoys his work. He has had the best of care throughout his life, with thoughtful training and preventative management. Established at Elementary and training Medium, Charlie offers a capable rider the chance to learn from his education and continue progressing through the levels.

Education, skills and experience

Charlie’s Medium work is consolidated apart from flying changes, which his Para tests do not require. He is progressing well with additional schooling from an able-bodied rider. Charlie goes comfortably in a snaffle or double bridle, and a correctly fitted saddle is recommended for his comfort.

Charlie's education extends beyond the dressage arena. He has schooled over cross-country fences and 110 showjumping. Charlie has swum at the beach and in dams. He is accustomed to busy roads, fireworks, dogs and activity around children.

General demeanour under saddle

Charlie is generally very calm and reliable under saddle. He is soft and light in the bridle, responds willingly and readily works in collection. Charlie usually takes his surroundings in stride and can become tense if there is a significant disturbance or a tense/ nervous rider. At competitions and on trails, he can feel about 10 per cent more forward and is manageable after a warm-up. Charlie does not have any vices or quirks under saddle.

Current workload / fitness

Charlie is in full work and is not currently competing. He remains reliable without daily riding. He benefits from a quick lunge before the first ride back.

Handling

Charlie is calm and straightforward to handle day to day. He is easy to catch, leads and ties quietly, self-loads, travels well and unloads calmly. Charlie is easy to clip, reliable for the farrier and good for the vet. He is currently shod in front.

Charlie is a character and loves people, so can be overly friendly when being handled. He also loves to play with things and pick them up - so care is needed with items left within his reach. Charlie does not have any stabling, handling or management issues.

Feeding and management

Charlie receives a simple hard feed morning and evening with chaff and lucerne, along with free access to grassy hay around the clock. He can live in a herd or in an individual paddock with a companion within sight. He is also comfortable with 12 hours stabled and 12 hours paddocked.

Medical history

Charlie receives a supplements for prevention only. He does not have any medical or management issues. Charlie is insured and passed his insurance vet checks every year without issues. He is up to date with vaccinations and dental. A vet check is welcome at the buyer's expense.

Rider Suitability

Charlie would suit a confident, capable Young Rider, Para Rider or Amateur Owner Rider under regular professional instruction. He is a straightforward dressage partner for someone who is comfortable with his size and rides with confidence and consistency.

A rider already established at Novice dressage could build on Charlie’s training and progress through Elementary towards Medium. His national competition experience and willingness to work make him an appealing partner for a rider with dressage ambitions.

Reason for sale

Charlie is only offered for sale because his owner has another young horse coming through the ranks and is looking ahead to the Brisbane 2032 Paralympics. After breeding, producing and competing Charlie, his owner would like to find him a home that will value his character, give him the same standard of care and enjoy everything he has to teach his next rider.
