Dreaming of tall, dark, and handsome? Look no further! “Buckeyed Bob”, known around the barn as Sabre, is the total package. Sabre is an 8 year old, 16.3hh, flashy TB gelding who puts every thoroughbred stereotype to shame. If you’re looking for the friendly barn favorite who always makes you feel like you really CAN ride- even on your worst days- then this is the horse for you!
Sabre has a solid dressage foundation, proficient at the second level movements and working on third. He has easy lateral work and a fabulously balanced counter canter. Sabre is very simple to ride- he is light in the bridle, half halts off the seat, and is quiet without being a kick ride. My AA students adore him and he would be a fabulous horse for someone who aspires to get their bronze medal. He is very tolerant of his riders, and while he is not for a total beginner due to his size and athleticism, he is well suited for a teen or amateur working with a trainer.
Sabre is green over fences (as in, he’s only jumped a handful of times!) but is totally willing and I can see him being happy to dabble in the low hunters or jumpers. He trail rides on the buckle alone and in company, and isn’t bothered by a busy arena or lots of farm activity. He is easy to do on the ground, happy to live in or out, and is currently living out in a mixed herd and wearing front shoes.
Sabre is very sadly offered only due to his owner retiring from riding. He is very well loved and offered in the low fives beginning with a one, only to the best of homes! His carrots are subject to increase as he stays in full training and competes this summer. Due to his owner’s retirement, his tack and blankets may be included if desired. Sabre is located near Warrenton, VA. PM for video.
