Laughs Loudest AKA Apollo is a 16.3/17hh , rising 8 yr old chestnut OTTB gelding who retired off the track in November 2020. Apollo is the perfect Eventing project with movement for both the dressage and hack ring. Apollo is a big, bold jumper who has competed up to 1.10m and schooled up 1.15m with so much scope and talent to go higher. He has schooled up to 1m XC. Apollo has been to countless lessons and outings including shows, PC, zone Showjumping days and trail rides. He has been exposed to cattle and sheep and has trotted through sporting events for a change of activities. Apollo is smart on his feet and will often correct his striding if I happen to set him up on a bad line. He has a lovely soft snaffle mouth with a good stop and a beautiful natural carriage. He is easy to C/W/S/F and does not have any bad habits such as buck/rear/bolt/windsucking/weaving/stable walking etc. Apollo has been ridden and schooled by a 14yr old girl with ease and did not put a foot out of line. While Apollo is a genuinely easy horse to get along with and always try’s his heart out he is very matey is often faced with anxiety when out in new environments. This unfortunately has caused him to not perform to the ability or reach the levels I know he can. When he is switched on he could move the world with the talent and scope he has, but it is getting through to him that he will never be asked to race again and is safe. With time and patience I know he will be the most perfect horse for someone and will jump the stars. Apollo is for sale due to no fault of his own, unfortunately with the end of my degree very fast approaching and moving into a full time job I am having to make the extremely hard decision to move my boy on as he has too much undiscovered talent to sit wasting in the paddock. While Apollo has been ridden by a younger rider, due to his anxiety while out he will only be offered to an extremely experienced horse home and experienced older teen/adult rider who will give him the time and patience to work through his anxiety. I will be very picky on finding him the perfect home and rider. As Apollo is only currently in light work his price is reflecting this. As he comes into more work and starts to go back out competing his price will increase. Located Inverell, Northern NSW. Viewings/vet checks welcome. $6,500 |
