FOR SALE || WESTIE

Westie is a 13 year old Thoroughbred gelding standing at 17hh.
Westie has travelled throughout Qld & NSW winning & placing in loads of Group 2 & Group 1 classes. He has competed in the Group 1 series for the past three years at the TSHA Nationals with success every year, this year placing 2nd in the Table C round & 4th in the Grand Prix, along with a 2nd in the six bar, equal 3rd in the Puissance & being apart of the 2nd placed team in the Racing Teams Challenge. Although sticking to the TSHA classes has been his main priority while being apart of this team, he did compete in a couple 1.30m & 1.35m Young Rider classes at World Cup events.
Westie has been ridden multiple times by my 12 year old sister and has shown to be quite and forgiving school master.
Although his size, Westie is truly a soft heart who adores attention and loves cuddles. Not a great amount of work is required for him to be fit & ready for shows, only requiring 2-3 rides a week. Westie would be best suited for a young Junior or a armature rider who is looking for either a cool easy horse to ride, or a confidence horse to take them to the next height.
Please note Westie is not up for a quick sale and will only be on offer for the right home. Westie is only up for sale as we are close to overload with horses and have heaps of young aspects to work on.
We're looking to sell Westie in the mid 5 digit range.
If you want to know more about him to give him a test ride, please don't be afraid to send me a message.
