FUN & GENUINE ALLROUNDER, LOOKING FOR A NEW PARTNER

Irish Sports Horse, Bay, Gelding, 9 years, 16.3 hands

> Versatile Horse - enjoys dressage, showjumping, cross country & hacking
> Plenty show experience incl successfully competing to EI100 eventing unregistered & Pony Club Events
> A pleasure to do in all situations, quiet to shoe, box & clip etc.

‘MERMUS FLOYD IMP’ - Stable name ‘Adam’, is a quality 16.3hh, 9 year old gelding, with a quiet & kind temperament. He is a lovely straightforward all rounder type who has shown confidence & ability across all three phases of eventing. He is particularily genuine cross country, bold and honest to a fence.

He has lovely paces for dressage & a great natural rhythm for showjumping. Adam hacks happily alone or in company & is great with traffic including machinery, he enjoys spending time walking through the rivers and fields as well.

Adam has done lots of Pony Club here in Ireland and was well suited to it.

We think Adam would suit a competent amateur rider, where he can continue to progress & be enjoyed across many disciplines. Very sad sale as rider is 19, in University and hasn’t time for many horses. 5 star home only.
No vices. Open to any vetting.

We are more than happy to offer videos and more photos upon request.
