Kingsway

Introduction: King is a handsome 4 year old, 16.2hh thoroughbred eligible for a TSHA licence and to compete at Equimillions. King retired sound from racing last October and has been spelled and then restarted by a 17 year old under professional guidance. King presents an opportunity for a capable and confident rider looking for an inexpensive and unspoilt young horse to bring on. 

Education, skills and experience: King has been out to lessons and clinics and takes everything in his stride. He has jumped up to 45cm and not overfaced due to his age. King looks to have the talent to excel in showjumping or eventing. He works softly and is on the way to working in a consistent frame. King enjoys a variety of work.

General demeanor under saddle: King is willing and responsive under saddle. He has a snaffle mouth and is light in the bridle. King is reliable and fun to ride. He can look at things and have a little spook if pushed rather than allowed him to process and relax. However, he has absolutely no dirt - no shy, rear, buck, bolt etc.

Current workload/ fitness: King is currently in work.

Handling: King is easy to handle - to catch, shoe, wash, saddle and load. 

Behaviour: King is smoochy and kind, he loves people and being patted and fussed over. He relaxes quickly if reassured.

Feeding and management: King is currently fed hay, small hard feed and is paddocked. He is a little sunbleached from his spell but has a beautiful soft, fine coat through winter. King has great feet.

Medical history: King has no medical issues or injuries.

Rider Suitability: King would suit a capable and confident rider due to age.

Reason for sale: King is very reluctantly for sale due to his rider entering year 12 and having another three horses in work. He will only be sold to a fabulous and appropriate home where we can keep in touch with his buyers.
