Cool and Calm Novice Schoolmaster Dressage Gelding
SIR XALVADOR (Rocco)
EA Registered, 10-Year-Old, 15.3h (est.), Tobiano Pinto Clydesdale x Stockhorse Gelding bred by John Wade at Bingara Stud
“Rocco” has had three years of professional, classical dressage training, and is currently training novice–elementary and competing up to novice level with a variety of riders, from a novice adult learning the ropes to a professional rider/trainer.
He is in full competition work and has achieved scores of up to 76% at prelim and a 65% at his last novice outing. He would also excel in the hunter ring and has been shown as a hunter for two reserve champions at local riding clubs. Rocco is a calm, trustworthy, trainable, and sensitive horse, with a great nature and a willing attitude. He has three lovely paces and loads of presence. He has an established leg yield and shoulder in and is training counter canter, simple changes, and travers.
Rocco is a perfect gentleman to handle with a sweet personality and no vices. He’s a pleasure to take out and doesn’t bat an eye at new venues or situations. He is great alone or in company, and has experience trail riding, beach riding, swimming in the dam, ponying other horses and ba****ck adventures. He’s best suited to a competent intermediate rider looking to grow with a safe, competitive dressage or hunter mount. He would suit an adult or confident junior looking for a fun horse to take through the grades and enjoy. Also suitable for a rider wanting to return to the competition arena after time off.
Due to an old injury, Rocco is not suitable for any jumping. His owner is very happy to share information and x-rays with prospective buyers.
This is a genuine sale of a much-loved family member due to his rider having too many commitments. Rocco will only go to an approved home. Competition home is preferred.
Asking $16,000
Rocco will not be sold outside of QLD as his owner would like to keep in touch with his new family. For this reason, he may be offered for lease to the right person.
A requirement of lease will be that he is kept in full care agistment at Lena Park Equestrian, or that lessor is able to provide the same level of care (subject to inspection).
