Fairfield Great Gatsby is a big, beautiful boy, sired by Mulpemoh Charlie Buttons clydie x QH (who we now own), and out of a stock horse mare, Watery Gully Lily. 
 

Gatsby is a big lovable dork, standing at approx 16.3hh, and is 6 years old. He was lightly backed as a four year old, and has been brought along slowly and gently as he has grown like a weed since we brought him home at just five months old.

​

This lovely young man has matured into a large, expressive mover, and will excel in the dressage ring. He would also fit right into the HRCAV showing ring with his easy-going nature, and polite and willing attitude to work. He has a solid foundation, is responsive to the aids, yields well off the leg, and has comfortable up-hill paces to ride. 

 

Gatsby remains sensible and level-headed when out and about, with a good work ethic, and is easy to manage down the roads or on a trail. He likes to seek confidence from his rider, but has not been spooky, and will willingly give all new things a good go. 

​

At his first (and so far, only) dressage competition he took the busy environment easily in stride, stood tied to the float whilst his friend left to compete, and received good scores and lovely comments from the judges. He also thoroughly enjoyed his ring-side naps in the sun, and fit right into the general goings on. 

At this stage he competed competitively in Level 4, and since has trained up to grade 3 with more than enough potential to climb the ranks. 

​

Gatsby has not had a lot of jumps training but will pop over logs and cross rails with plenty of scope to develop his jumping skills in the future. If you were to meet an object out on your trail, he will also happily clamber over calmly at a walk (a benefit of long legs!).

​

It is important to us to find the right fit for Gatsby, as he is a gentle soul and really seeks to bond with his humans. It is a very difficult choice to move on one we have raised as our own for so long, but given he has grown well over his estimated mature height he just isn't suited for a petite small rider (Zaehl often rides ponies under 13hh). 

​

We are in no rush for him to find his forever person. 

​

Priced to reflect that he has been out of work on a spell. 
Jump back on and go type, but fitness and refinement will need bringing along.
