DESCRIPTION (as provided by vendor)
Chestnut with Flaxen main and tail
Duke is a seriously magnificent, and docile gentle giant. If you are a rider looking for a safe trail riding, pleasure mount Duke would be ideal.
He is totally relaxed trail riding alone or with company and can easily be separated no fuss.
He’s happy to work around cows, canter past a group of kangaroos and thru long grass with bunches of birds flying up. He is wonderful! He has never shown me a buck, bolt, kick or bite.
Duke has had a lot of education and is so comfortable on the arena or in a field displaying the loveliest rocking horse canter.
Unfortunately he’s been in and out of work this year due to covid and restrictions. The video attached was just taken last week after not having been worked much at all during lock down. Sadly he needs to be moved on. Previous owner did ARC, some jumping and trail riding. His only vice I’ve found is that he will want to walk off immediately when mounting. This is easily corrected by rider preparation and there’s no intended dirt in him doing that.
Duke is an easy keeper, only on grass and some hay. You do need to monitor his weight, hes around 650kg at the moment so he doesn’t always need that “good paddock “ but he does currently look amazing! Duke is shod all 4, up to date with worming, teeth, shoes, and vaccinations. Nothing to spend just get on and ride.
