EOI : Duke
Duke, 17hh 15yo WB Gelding. Don’t let his height deter you, this guy is a gentle giant, an absolute gentleman. He is first to greet you in the paddock, good to shoe, wash, rug, float and truck.
Duke has been ridden by a range of riders with different abilities. From children as Young as 4 (being held on of course), to professionals in the showjumping ring. Duke has even started teaching my non-horsey partner to ride, being incredibly forgiving while he “works” him for me 😆
Duke can do it ALL, trail rides through the bush, next to cars and roads, swims in the creek, beach rides, showjumping, cross country or low level dressage.
Dukes talent lies in the showjumping ring. He was imported from NZ, jumping up to 135. He has since taught me the ropes of showjumping. Duke has been to most competitions around the SEQ area, whether it be EA, inter school or ag shows. He isn’t bothered at all by all the rides and atmosphere at all. Walk into the ring on a loose reign and it’s ready for action
Duke is an incredibly low stress horse to have around. Hop on him ba****ck in the paddock or get straight on after months off and he wouldn’t miss a beat. He would suit either a competition home, or with someone wanting to learn the ropes, either way he is happy.
He is excellent to ride alone or in company, good around machinery or dogs.
This is a very hard sale of a horse who has become apart of our family and will only go to the best of homes. Pm for price. located on the Gold Coast.
