Looking for an 8–12yo 1.40–1.45m schoolmaster around 170cm, with a substantial build, big canter and genuine always-jump mentality. Exceptional 7yo 1.35m prospects can also be considered.

Buyer currently based in the Netherlands and actively looking for another show jumping horse. The focus is on a genuine, proven horse capable of giving confidence and competing reliably at 1.40–1.45m level.

Must have

  • Around 170cm
  • Preferably substantial / thick-built type
  • Genuine 1.40–1.45m schoolmaster
  • Strong competition record
  • Generally clear rounds
  • No elimination pattern
  • Brave and confident
  • Always-jump mentality
  • Nothing spooky
  • Big canter
  • Nice temperament
  • Not overly bloody
  • Ideally 8–12 years old
  • Budget around €150,000
  • Located around the Netherlands or reasonably nearby

Nice to have

  • Spooky
  • Overly bloody or sharp
  • Sensitive or insecure temperament
  • Stopping tendency
  • Elimination pattern
  • Horse that needs excessive confidence from the rider
  • Poor or inconsistent competition record without a clear explanation
  • Lacking scope for 1.40–1.45m
  • Small canter or insufficient power
  • Horse too light or slight in type

Deal breakers

  • Age down to 7 years old
  • 7yo can currently be jumping around 1.35m if exceptionally talented
  • Exact 1.45m mileage if younger horse has obvious scope and quality
  • Exact height around the 170cm target
  • Exact location if still practical for trials from the Netherlands
  • Perfect competition record, provided the horse is generally reliable and does not show concerning patterns
"The ideal horse is around 170cm with a more substantial, powerful type and a naturally big canter. The horse should be brave, reliable and straightforward, with a strong desire to jump. Competition history should show generally clear and consistent rounds without concerning elimination patterns. Temperament is very important. Nothing spooky, overly bloody, sharp or sensitive. The main target is a made schoolmaster between 8–12 years old. However, an exceptional 7-year-old currently competing around 1.35m can be considered if it has serious quality, scope and obvious ability to move quickly toward the required level. Search should focus around the Netherlands and nearby regions."
