Hello! I’m the girl who bought Stately(now renamed Chevy) around 7 months ago from you guys and I just wanted to tell you how wonderful of a horse he is...

Before deciding to buy another horse and continue my passion for horses I had a terrible fall on my previous gelding, it ended with me in the hospital with some pretty bad injuries and my confidence in riding was destroyed, I was convinced I would never ride again as I would break down every time I tried to put my foot in the stirrup after the incident. My grandparents could see the horse I had was not good for me as he was so nervous and jumpy and so they decided to sell him and possibly look for another horse if I really wanted.

We spent a few weeks just looking around at some horses and ads, trying a few horses and every one of them I didn’t have a connection with, it was pretty tough. Just as we were about to accept the fact I might not ride again, my grandma found Chevy’s add. I fell in love with him the moment I saw him. I love big bays with limited markings and sweet faces and that’s exactly what he was, his description was perfect as it stated he was bombproof and trustworthy. Within the hour we knew he was the one and that night we bought him and I he arrived the following Monday.

As recommended I spent a week just chilling out with him in the paddock and getting him used to me, right from the get go he was the sweetest guy and would come up for hugs and fall asleep with his face in my arms.

Our first ride was short as my confidence was still ruined and I was worried about being on an unfamiliar horse, all of that fear went to nothing as he was an angel, listening to everything I asked and not putting a foot wrong at all. I felt good after that ride and I continued to ride him every few days and I got my confidence back fast.

Now to the point of how incredible he is, sorry for that whole backstory I needed it to help with this part! Ever since I got him he’s been a champ, he has never spooked even though I ride beside the road and there are a lot of cars, dogs and scary things most horses would spook at. He’s always done exactly what he’s been asked and he’s never bucked, reared or bolted. He’s always so willing to work and loves going for a canter up the hills around my area. Because of him my confidence is back and bigger than ever, just yesterday we went for a gallop up a long hill when we were on our way home and he reached a speed of around 55km/hr (Tracked on a special horse app of mine) and I wasn’t scared. It was an amazing feeling to be able to just let him go to his hearts content, he just stretched out and went like a bullet, the incredible thing is as soon as I asked him to slow he did and he did it quickly. That’s the amazing thing about him, no matter what speed were going at no matter how excited he is he ALWAYS comes back into my hand when I ask him too.

For an inexperienced 6yo OTT he is the most wonderful horse I’ve ever met. People talk about finding their soul horse and I honestly think I’ve found mine.

I know this will be so weird and random to read but I just wanted to let you know how amazing I think you guys are and just to say what you do with these horses is incredible!

Thankyou so much for giving me my golden boy.

Kind Regards
