Andalusian Gelding for sale
Andalusian Gelding - registered FOR SALE in Warkworth. 13 years old. $3500 (negotiable).
NOT SUITABLE FOR DRESSAGE, JUMPING ETC. HE IS SUITBALE FOR HACKING, GENTLE RIDING etc.
Handsome was on trial last week. The proposed owner loved him. Naturally, she had a vet check conducted. Handsome failed vet check. (All vital signs were good). BUT X-rays show “changes in right front fetlock, Auckland Vet Centre Xrays indicated “bone/joint degeneration disease”. Which means, he is not suitable for dressage, rigorous riding, jumping etc. I was shocked. VET REPORT WILL BE AVAILABLE TO ANYONE THAT IS SERIOUSLY CONSIDERING HIM.
Handsome has never been lame before, in my time of owning him for 3 years, (my vet records will be available to potential owner), nor with the previous owner who bought him in 2008 @ 4yrs old. (I keep in touch with her). However joint degeneration disease means he is likely to become lame at some stage in the future.

Reason for selling - I am not riding him much and it is not fair on Handsome. It saddens me deeply to sell him, though I need to do the right thing for Handsome - he loves riding. MOST IMPORTANT - he MUST go to a home who will love him dearly, look after him and every aspect of his well-being, and also needs a paddock buddy. (Photos of Handsome with my partner).
Handsome Wants to please, very chatty, talks a lot. Comes up to you in the paddock, talking.... He has an incredibly beautiful nature and loves his humans. He adores children.
Handsome is so placid, if I don’t ride for months, then jump on him - he is absolutely fine.
No vices, no dirty behaviour. Not racey - likes a gentle ride, trustworthy, doesn’t spook, very safe to ride. He has a beautiful personality, loves his mate our Kune Kune, our dog and our ducks.
He is so placid, I did not ride him for 6 months last year and jumped in him and he was perfect.
He would suit either someone returning to riding (which is what I did after years of no riding), or someone wanting to hack out and have fun. PM me if interested. Thanks for viewing in Warkworth. 🌹 PM me or phone 021 274 474 or 022 308 4259
