WITHDRAWN FROM SALE -
Why - Avril’s perfect other 15 hand high horse has had a surprise ECVM diagnosis. We hadn't checked him as he had absolutely no signs but he has been sticky into canter and we were completing X-Xraying the entire brood mare herd, comp horse group and 3 year olds and he was there so we thought we better check just in case. It's mild and only on one side but I have only one child and I have other horses. Harry will retire to help raise foals and hopefully he can live out a relatively pain free life. I rode his grandmother, I bred his mother, I foaled him down and I had him perfectly trained for my daughter. All the best plans go out the window with horses and as I write I am shedding a tear. But we have Jack. The understudy just got the leading role. Sorry to everyone that was lined up to see Jack but Sam has been trying to get everyone up to date with the news.

About JACK
Jack was purchased as a 5-year-old in 2016 as a future prospect for my then 3-year-old daughter, Avril van Eyk.
He was carefully trained and, at 6 years old, was lent to Kate Tompson. Kate was 12. Kate’s mum is our friend and vet. You get the picture – ridden by a child and supported by professionals, cared for by a vet.
Kate and Jack had a very successful partnership; the combination was unbeatable in pony club dressage and climbed to Grade 1 (Advanced).
Kate took Jack out to HRCAV and EA competitions and was always well performed.
Jack loves trail riding and has been hacking around the high country and on the roads.
He is perfect to travel, he has perfect ground manners he has NO vices. HE IS PERFECT. As would be expected from his breeding, Jack is highly talented.
When Kate left for university, Jack lost his rider. Kate has done an incredible job with Jack. He has been cared for, nurtured, trained and loved. He has given much in return; Jack is in his prime. He is the perfect small horse. He is currently extending his knowledge and training with Samantha Bingham in Chirnside Park, Victoria.
So why is he for sale? Why would we go to all that planning and effort and sell him before Avril was ready? Well, all those years ago we thought to double our chances, and we have two Diamond Hit 15-hand high perfect geldings. One we bred and one we purchased. Jack is the one we didn’t breed. We didn’t expect we could be that lucky but we are. It is fair to say we have agonised over the decision, but Avril does not need both. Jack is training with Samatha Bingham and is ready to find his new person.
He would be very suited to a young rider or adult. As for price, Jack is on the market at $70,000.00. Send a DM, and Sam’s number will appear in the return message.
