Show Jumping Horse! Talented gelding seeking a caring rider to bring out his best

We are offering our 9-year-old gelding, Cosmo, as we simply haven't been able to find the right connection between us. Cosmo is an excellent show jumping horse, and I see him continuing in that discipline. He approaches every jump with confidence and performs very well. I personally am not experienced in jumping and mainly ride dressage. Last year, he competed in A and L show jumping classes with a friend, including cross-country obstacles, and he performed incredibly well. He even placed in a ** (A**) class. He can be a bit stubborn and sometimes assertive, but overall he is a very sweet and friendly horse. We have also gone on trail rides and taken him on holiday, where he proved to be very straightforward and easy to handle. He is familiar with both open stalls and box stalls. In our herd, he is very relaxed and well-adjusted. We are looking for a good home where he can be supported and encouraged in show jumping. He stands approximately 173 cm at the withers.

Before starting under saddle at age 3, a simple chip was removed from him, and at age 4, he underwent surgery for laryngeal paralysis. Since then, he has been fit and healthy.
