Times Square OBF

Notes

Times Square OBF is a perfect candidate for a committed junior/amateur rider who wants to bring along a QUALITY young horse. "Tony" is a super adorable, round but athletic, sporty six-year-old 15.3-16 h, registered & branded, BWP gelding. He is bred to jump the moon with Emerald and Clinton as grandsires on the paternal side, and Heartbreaker and Calando I on the maternal side. His dam Ulanda OBF is FULL sister to Leopold van Asten's VDL Groep Zidane. Ulanda has thrown numerous competitive show jumpers as well as show hunters. This one is also packed with potential, and we are excited for another winning combination to be developed.

Due to time constraints, Tony was started late in 2023. He has had intermittent professional training with Jill Swain and is currently flatted 2-3 x weekly by an adult amateur. He is a snaffle ride with three comfortable gates, solid changes and has started jumping small courses. He has great work ethic with no dirt. Full transparency, he can occasionally look at things at the start of a ride, but this only lasts a few minutes or disappears completely with more consistent riding. He is otherwise brave, and more of a push ride on the flat, but has a motor, a big step, and is always eager to take his rider to the fences. His jump is powerful, scopey and careful. He can be quick and jumps in great form. A little more work over winter and he should be ready for the show ring next season. Why not buy this horse at a great price? Just a few more miles and it will surely double.

As for character, Tony wants to be someone's pet! He loves attention, has zero vices, is good for the vet and farrier, is unphased by most things and super easy to have around the barn. He loads and trailers well, respects electric fencing and can be turned out with other horses. Tony has had one owner who can attest to his good health and soundness since birth. He is barefoot, a very easy-keeper and lives outside.
