​

5* knowledgeable home wanted.

​

Fantastic show jumping bloodlines. Sire is Grade A Show Jumper The Son Of A Builder out of International Show Jumper Builders Delight. Dams sire is the legendary show jumping stallion Glenayre Silver Fox.

​

Having had the same home since he was a two year old, Sam has been slowly and sympathetically backed.

​

Always in the ribbons, Sam has just placed once again, show jumping at The Grange against 21 other competitors in his class.

Recently Sam placed 3rd at our riding club 'Dressage Intro' championships and 1st in a local 'Best Combination' ridden showing class event.

​

Sam is not fazed by fillers at all and jumps everything asked of him, showing excellent scope over a fence and easily loose jumping over 1m.

​

Sam happily hacks out alone or in company, here on Dartmoor and is not bothered by sheep or cows.

​

Sam is great to handle on the ground, super to load, easy to clip and well behaved for the farrier. He is completely barefoot and has never had a day's lameness.

​

Snaffle mouthed and three well established balanced paces.

​

The only blemish on Sam worth mentioning, is a small lump above his left fore fetlock. He has had this since we bought him and it has been examined by two different vets. In their opinion, it is just scar tissue. It is not noticeable and therefore will not affect him for showing.

​

We believe that Sam would be best suited to a competition type home with an experienced and confident rider, in order to maximise his full potential. We have no doubt that in the right hands, Sam will go very far.

​

No vices.

​

Up to date with vaccinations, teeth and physio.

​

We have plenty of videos to share and excellent trial facilities.
