"Samuel Pepys " Skewbald Gelding All Rounder

Samuel Pepys is now for sale!

14.3 (and a bit!) 15 years young - he has never been in hard work for very long, teenagers dumped him for boyfriends and other such tales so I feel he’s been pretty wasted and this makes me very sad as he is such a talented, kind and loving boy. He’s just come back from his most recent loan home and we don’t have the space and time to keep him anymore. We have tried to justify keeping him as he’s so handy to have around for friends to ride and for my mum to have the occasional hack but I now look at him and feel grief that he hasn’t got a solid person loving him like he deserves..
Super super coblet out of a gypsy vanner type mare, sire was a Welsh D show jumper.


We have had him since he was a yearling minus 5 years when he was sold and then we had him back!


Does everything - really enjoys all jumping and goes beautifully in the school. Has done xc and fun rides and used as a general hack. Children and teenagers have loved him over the years. He’s a safe and steady hack but not a complete plod. Would make a great all rounder for a woman or small man, a step up for children/teens coming off 13.2 or a parent/child share.
Amazing to hack and really tunes in when there’s jumps but doesn’t pull.
Good to travel and load, benefits from front shoes if hacking out lots, no scary vices though I’ll be completely honest and say he sadly came back from a past loan home three years ago and was a little rude and bolshy on the ground but we really worked hard on this - it’s more something to bear in mind and keep in check…very keen to chat this through over the phone as I want a good clean sale - he really deserves someone to commit to him long term.
