Quiet and Pretty!

Chad or Chaddy (raced unsuccessfully as Galatians) is a sweet boy I've had the pleasure of owning since April 2024.

Chad is very special to me so I want to find him the perfect home, I would have liked to have him longer however due to University and two other young horses I just don't have the time to put into him that he deserves. 

I rode Chad at the track and immediately fell in love with the cutie! He wasn’t spooky, never bolted or bucked and was used for a couple of less experienced track riders. After a couple of preparations we discovered the racing life just wasn’t for Chaddy, he was not a happy camper living that lifestyle. After a horrendous run April 2024 we decided to retire him and I took him home where he spelled for 8 months.

I brought Chad back in to work In January where I worked on establishing the basics (bend,flexion,contact and leg). I begun exposing him to jumps (50-60cm) and also took him around my cross country (45/60cm) course twice and was blown away with his confidence.

I took him to his first outing in early February where he scored 60% in a prep test, he's also successfully completed two 50cm ODE's and a Showjumping training day this year. He still shows some intial stress when ridden at outings whichI believe will reduce with time and experience. I have done lots of trail riding and riding along roads with Chad and have been absolutely blown away with his quietness, he's has motorbikes, trucks and the like zoom past him with no reactions! 

I believe he shows promise as a show jumper or trail riding mount and potentially a competitive eventer with experience. As he is young, it would be great if he went to someone who wants to take their time and not rush up the grades ect.

Chad is Equimillion eligible. 

He has been on a break since Wagga Horse Trials whilst I focussed on my other horses so I will need at least a weeks notice in advance if viewings are wanted! 

He's such an affectionate, sweet boy and I just want the best for him. He does windsuck however this does not negatively effect him in any way and did stop when paddocked with good pasture. Please contact me with any questions- I have limited ridden footage but can take some on request.
