Lehrmeister & Seelenpferd: 17j. Wallach für gemütliche Runden

I am looking for a lifelong home for my 17-year-old gelding (height: 16.1 hh). He is a true sweetheart both in handling and under saddle, but due to a diagnosis of osteoarthritis, he is no longer suitable for sport and is offered as a leisure and companion horse. 

He masters movements up to elementary/medium dressage and is extremely sensitive to aids. He always wants to please!  
 
Trail riding: He is comfortable riding alone or in a group.  
 
Handling: He is farrier- and loading-friendly, barefoot, and shows no vices such as rearing or kicking.  
 
Variety: He enjoys lunging and groundwork, especially with poles and ground exercises.  

He is fit and eager to be active! The osteoarthritis does not limit him in leisure riding, but he should be ridden regularly and gently (no jumping, no tight turns).  
 
Due to dust sensitivity (coughing when fed dry hay), he requires:  
 
Feeding: Muesli or soaked hay.  
 
Bedding: Shavings (no straw).  
 
Stabling: Open stall, paddock box, or box with window, with plenty of turnout and paddock time daily.  

He has been regularly vaccinated, dewormed, and seen by the veterinarian. A pre-purchase exam can be arranged at the buyer’s expense.  

To avoid “riding tourism,” I charge €25 for the initial meeting and trial ride, which will be deducted from the purchase price if sold.  

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.
