I have owned and produced Barney myself since buying him as an un-backed 3YO at the brightwells sale at addington in 2014, and he has taken me successfully to the highest level of BE, jumping double clear at both of our first advance last year.
At now 10 years old, Barney’s record speaks for itself. With numerous double clears up to advanced and placings at intermediate and 3*.
Barney is a very flashy mover on the flat, his only “quirk” is that he can be slightly tricky in this phase. Some days he’ll lead the dressage and other days he can be a little bit more hard work. He is still a consistent scoring horse nevertheless and is capable of high 20/ low 30s at intermediate level, and no doubt mid 20s if he were to drop back down to novice/ 2*
A careful and honest jumper, he has his own style but always does his absolute best to keep the poles up.
Incredibly straight and genuine XC, this is the horse I have learnt to jump the bigger tracks on and he’s taught me everything I know.
He was selected and competed for the 3* European Cup GB Team in Germany in 2019 where he was clear inside the time XC and just had an unfortunate rail on the last day in an otherwise super SJ round finishing 21st.
He was also 8th at Belton CCI3*S 2019. Barney would have been placed a lot more in his career had I gone faster xc- which he is very capable of. But only having the one horse to learn on at the time, I often went steady xc until the bigger events to learn about how to ride around bigger tracks in a rhythm. But when the buttons are pressed, barney is more than capable of being very quick against the clock and finishing on his dressage score.
Barney could also be very competitive in pure SJ, having jumped double clears at 1.30m.
The easiest, loveliest horse to have around on the ground, and to take away to shows. Happily turns out with any others and is excellent to box, shoe, clip etc.
No time wasters please. This is an absolutely heartbreaking sale of a much loved horse of a lifetime. 10* home only for this very special boy.
High 5 figures
* Recently 3rd place at Aston Intermediate with a 26.4 dressage, and clear inside the time xc *
