i may be selling him at the end of this season as i'm going to uni. he has just done his first 2 affiliated intro's and came 4th and 2nd. You can look him up on BE, his showname is Whiz Kid VDS xx

[omgitscloeee]

wow, what level do you thinkk he could get up to? i know its hard to tell when there youngsters though. how big is he?

[showjumper12345]

he's 16.2hh dutch warmblood, 6yrs old, grandsire is Voltaire (famous SJ stallion). he has so much scope he could easily go novice but XC is still quite new to him so i'm taking it slow. Will do some PN's soon. I've done some 1m 5 BSJA on him and he just pops over it like its 2'!! But lots of people tell me he will go 3* but who knows!! lol xx

The bank at 3.28, i ened up in a pile on the floor at the bottom of it, when it had 2.9ft tires in it hahah. My 14.3 cob decided to stop, then jump twice as high as needed then stop again and put her head down. My fault though i tensed up and stopped using my legs! heheh

[omgitscloeee]

he is absolutly wonderfull. Would you ever consider a loan to the right home?

he is the type of horse i am looking for but sadly not buying yet and might not be till next year as i can't sell my horse lol! I event at novice level ect and have good facilities so if yeah, please tell me if hes for sale :P!

[showjumper12345]

thanks!! i use running reins/draw reins attached to the girth on the flat but only when i do a new movement like travers as he has such a thick neck and he's a big 16.2, but for everyday flatwork i dont use them but when he was a 4 yr old i used them alot as he was so much for me to ride!! they work well on some horses and not on others, if ur horse resists by sticking its head in air they will prob be quite effective as they give u control of the neck. if u try it let me know how u get on xxx

Thanks x
