16.1hh liver chestnut gelding by Luidam out of an irish mare, rising 6yrs Super quality hunter and all rounder. Rodney was bred to be an international showjumper but hasn't made the grade, he would be a top class Riding Club horse, who would affiliate in all disciplines, he has huge pottential as an eventer as has lovely loose and athletic paces. Rodney has hunted several times both with the drag hounds and the Surrey Union. he is everything you could look for in a hunter, bold as the day is long but careful and laid back enough that if his rider wants a quiet day at the back he is happy to oblige, but equally happy jumping up front. Rodney would make a super masters horse and won't look out of place in the biggest country. He has a scopey jump and three good paces, he is doing lateral work and flying changes in the school and is an easy ride. He is quiet enough for a novice rider but has enough scope to keep someone more experienced entertained. I feel Rodney would be a fabulous mum and daughter/son share. Jumping 1m tracks now with scope to go on, will easily jump all BSJA national classes just not good enough for the 1.50's he was bred to do! He is also a very good hack in the heaviest of traffic, he is not at all strong or spooky. A good sort who is easy to do, box, shoe, catch, ect. no vices. with a very kind outlook. Can be tried on the hunt field of required. Only quirk is he requires sedation to be clipped.
