Edward
Introducing Edward
16.2HH 9 yr old chestnut Irish Draught x TB
In the school, Edward has 3 established paces in walk trot and canter, he is not a forward going ride and is more leg on than off. He is no super Dressage Diva to go to the top, but neither are most of us, he will do a nice little test for the none competitive.
Hacking – Will hack alone or in company and go first or last. He is not a plod along you can ride buckle end, he is a big horse. he will look if something surprises him. Edward has hacked all the roads and lanes here passing different types of traffic and going passed the local primary school.
Jumping – this is not an area Edward excels in, he would jump a course of 60cm but it is not an area we believe he could really improve. He is what he is.
History – We were sold Edward by a lady who is moving to Australia. We were told she had Edward for a couple of years, he was mainly used as a pleasure horse and did some low level Dressage and jumping (into A) We were told she bought him of a lady who used him for hunting (we have some photos to prove this) however we have not hunted him but apparently she became pregnant and sold him to the lady we bought him from.
Since we have had Edward his schooling had come on tremendously. We have discovered a vice that we are working on and is improving daily. Edward can be nervous to dismount. Now he is happy for you to sit on him all day chatting away and he stands as soon as gold, but for some reason he gets tense when its time to get off. However, this is improving every day and we will do videos to show this.
Edward would suit a home for low level riding club, hacking, fun rides etc. He is not for a complete novice due to needing a balanced rider to give him confidence when dismounting, he is gaining so much confidence with us we would hate to see this go.
Manners, Edward is easy to handle on the ground, he is currently stabled, he is a pleasure to have on the yard.
Up to date with vaccs, does not come with any tack or wardrobe but saddle can be fitted at new owner’s request.
Open to any vetting
£3000 to good home.

Greenhill is a wonderful place to work, I have had a brilliant time over the past year riding the horses, showing them to customers and taking them cross country. Some brilliant partnerships have been made between the horses and there new owners - ones that I am sure will last a life time. During my time at Greenhill I have ridden the safest of safe cobs right through to show jumpers, the diversity and choice of horse available from Greenhill makes it the perfect place to go, whether you have been looking for weeks or years. The girls that run the yard are helpful, informative and friendly making you feel relaxed and looked after (as it can be nerve racking trying a new horse!) Greenhill strives to make the perfect partnership however long it takes, what ever the requirements, from novice to advanced.

My daughter and I bought 4 yr old ISH Holly from this fabulous friendly yard back in November. We live in Fife, Scotland and they were very patient with me, having 2 long phone calls with Charlotte to discuss every inch of her in detail to check if she was worth the 5 hour journey. Their promotional videos show loads of useful actions that you would want to know like loading, cantering in open fields etc. On arrival, we found Charlotte to be honest, approachable and she answered every question, advised on decent vets for the vetting etc. Holly was exactly as described in the full and descriptive adverts. 4 months on and Holly is now called Pippa and my 14 yr old daughter has just been out for her first Cross country outing today and Pippa was a total star! Reliable and no hidden surprises as indeed she has been since we got her. They take the time to get to know the horses before they advertise them so you really do get an accurate description. We are only at the beginning with her but looking forward to the years ahead, teaching her everything she needs to learn. Thank you for finding such a gem. I would recommend anyone looking for a horse to check what this yard have first or let them know what you are looking for.

I bought a fab cob, Patch, from Charlotte recently. She is everything Charlotte said she was and more. Purchase was made very easy by Charlotte and fabulous careful driving by her delivery driver. Thanks for everything, would definitely buy from again xx

I bought my horse Luna from Charlotte the end of June '15. After completely losing my confidence I was looking for a horse that would look after me but in the future I'd be able to do more with. When I went to try Luna I watched one of the staff members ride her first (Cara) and then my friend hopped on her. Everyone was really supportive and understanding of my nerves, I then rode Luna mainly just in walk around the school but I didn't feel pressured to do more than I wanted. On another day I also was taken out on a short hack as that was one of the things I wanted to do with my new horse. Once I had decided to buy Luna, I was able to have her vetted and then delivered to her new home in about a week! Since getting Luna I have fallen in love with her, she is exactly what I was looking for and matches the description I was given about her

I brought a 4 year old cob from Charlotte last year. Kilkee is absolutely outstanding in every way. He has manners to die for and always looks after me! He always tries his best and is one in a million! I'm so excited for our future. Charlotte was totally honest, kind and trustworthy and she only sells the best, most genuine horses to the right person and one that will suit them. I felt so relaxed while viewing Kilkee and cannot thank you enough for finding me my best friend! Highly recommend

I bought my second horse Moo from Charlotte in October 2015. I was looking for a sensible but forward going allrounder having lost my confidence with my first horse. There are great facilities to try the horses and I appreciated Charlotte's honest opinion when trying to match me to my perfect horse. There was absolutely no pressure to buy and Moo is proving to be everything Charlotte said he was and more. I can't thank her enough for finding me my horse of a lifetime
