Exciting future top event/Show jumper but easy enough for an amat

Irish Sports Horse Bay Gelding rising 6 years 17 hands

By the very popular sire KEC MAXIMUM JOE and his dam is a ID x TB breeding recorded.

I bought Joe last September as a 5yo from Ireland, with the view to producing him for Eventing / show jumping

I have been steadily and slowly working with him since purchase, having had plenty of downtime over winter to grow and mature.

He is scopey, brave, and very talented. He has a fantastic work ethic and wants to please in everything he does.

He is working very nicely on the flat. he now understands lateral work. He is nicely forward and off the leg and is ridden in a snaffle for all 3 phases. He can already produce a very smart test and has one of the nicest Canters that I have ever ridden.

He is like a Rolls Royce to ride, he is very light to leg and hand and is extremely easy to hold together, being naturally up hill so please don't let his size put you off. He feels so athletic and balanced. He is off the aids, without been sharp or silly, with a beautiful snaffle mouth. He just effortlessly floats around the arena and turns head wherever he goes!

He loves his showjumping and could easily pure show jump to a high level as well as event. He has now been to lots of show jumping shows producing beautiful clear rounds around 90cm and 1m tracks with masses of scope and talent to go on. He is just about to start jumping affiliated and will quickly get his clear rounds and go up the grades. He takes you nicely to a fence and is scopey and careful when he gets there.

He is ready to start his Eventing career being carefully produced cross country he is good with water and ditches and wants to jump what is in front of him while being very ridable and adjustable to a fence. He will quickly go up the grades and definitely has enough scoop and talent to be a top class horse.

Having produced him slowly and correctly and giving him the time he needs to understand every question asked of him, he has never had a run out or stop to date, which is also a testament to his willing and genuine attitude.

He will be an extremely competitive horse for someone, as he is very talented in all 3 phases. He would be perfect for an amateur / Pro wanting to produce a lovely talented horse up the levels. He is fit and ready to go.

He hacks out brilliantly both alone and in company and is bombproof in traffic! He isn’t at all nappy or clingy.

He loads straight on to a trailer or lorry.

He happily lives in or out with mares or geldings and has no stable vices. He is currently on a small yard with limited turnout but in summer he also was happy to live out and all ways was good to catch.

He is good to clip and brilliant for the farrier and recently stood perfectly for the dentist. He is up to date with his vaccinations.

He is open to vet and passed a 5 stage vetting in September when i purchased him, he is blemish and vice free.
