Clifton Gesture
Very easy confidence-giving cross country schoolmaster, ready now to move to 2-star/Intermediate eventing and with the scope to go Advanced.
10yo 16.2hh Bay Gelding
Took Young Rider Working Pupil to her required CCI* qualifying score at Taupo 3-Day Event National Championships, despite her only having ridden the horse for a few weeks.
Absolute machine cross-country. Brave and safe and with the mileage and attitude to read all types of questions and work them out without needing help from the rider. Would never stop and locks on to technical questions extremely well.
Regularly achieved excellent dressage scores over 70%, including winning dressage in CCI* at National 3-Day Event Championships with 70.8% (43.8 penalties) with inexperienced rider.
Three Novice Horse Trial points.
Completed three CCI* 3-Day events with two inexperienced riders.
This horse will find higher level cross country extremely easy and will be moved up to Intermediate/2-star level in the new season. Will give less experienced rider great mileage and confidence over bigger fences very safely and easily.
