Fancy 2star gelding with Advanced potential!

“Arctic Tiger” is a 16.1h 8 year old British Sport Horse gelding ready to take his next rider up the levels! He is very confirmed at the preliminary level, finishing every event this year in the top 3 and was most recently 2nd in the two-star at Red Hills. He has also placed well in pure show jumping through the 1.20m level. “Harley” has tons of scope and is very trainable in all three phases, and would be ideal for an ambitious young rider to take up the grades. This horse is not to be missed and will contest intermediate soon if not sold. Located in Florida.

Fancy and Fun AWB

Eli Surprise — 16hh 11 yo AWB gelding.

Eli is very easy and very fancy on the flat. Built round with easy lateral work. Unflappable to the fences. More of a kick ride but has his own motor. Competed recognized and unrecognized at starter last year (no more due to owner injuries unrelated to horses). Schooled beginner novice and novice in Aiken this year. Been schooled cross country by an amateur in only her third ride on him.

Easy to handle with a great personality. Very smart. Could be easily be brought along by a teen or amateur in a program. Could have a future in almost any direction or as an all arounder! Would love to sell before I leave Aiken! Price neg to a great home. Message for video-Have video of AAs and kids riding him!

In Aiken til the end of March. Then in Pittsburgh text (630)723-4077.

R n B ~Fancy Event Prospect

Manni is a 2011 17h Black Imported Hanoverian Gelding

Manni has not yet shown as an Eventer but is very promising! Beautiful paces, quality, careful jump with a lot of scope. He’s not a kick ride, but not silly or stupid. He’s ambitious with out being crazy. Has xc schooled and proved to be very brave and a good generalizer- a fence is a fence is a fence to him! Super for Jr/YR or anyone who wants a talented and fun horse- not a packer type yet, but a really good boy needing a little production! Located in South Carolina.
