Famous Agent, known as Bond, has been in our family for coming up to 2 years and now we’ve had to come to the very difficult decision to find him his new home.
Bond was born and bred in France and then made his way to Ireland, where he had a very short racing career of just 7 races; it most certainly wasn’t what he was interested in. He retired fit and sound, he joined me straight out of racing.
In our time of ownership, he has mostly just been a fun hacking horse; he will hack for hours and miles quite happily – good to hack alone, in company and great in open spaces, has seen traffic and isn’t fussed. Bond has done some schooling, which he did enjoy, but we never had the time to carry this on. He hasn’t done any jumping other than the odd log out hacking. He is not a novice ride as he is forward and sensitive; nothing nasty. He has never bucked or reared; he can just have the odd little jog on the way home. He is ridden by a 5ft7, 8 stone rider, so I’d like him to continue with a nice lightweight rider.
After having the winter off out in the field Bond is now coming back into work, currently just hacking out building up fitness and muscle. Once he’s built his fitness up he will happily be able to go and compete and have lots of fun.
Bond is a sensitive boy, and he knows what he does and doesn’t like. He absolutely thrives on a routine; he likes to know what he’s doing day in and day out. Loves to have a hack, go out in the field with his friends and would stand all day to have a cuddle. He doesn’t get on with being in a busy yard setting; he prefers a small, quiet, private yard setup.
Injury-free and completely clean-limbed, currently barefoot and coping perfectly. He does have a couple of sarcoids, a flat one on his face and a small tiny one around his stifle area; he’s previously had one removed from his neck. Up to date with his vaccinations, teeth and worming. He loads himself onto the lorry and travels so quietly that you’d forget he’s on the lorry. Good to shoe and clip.
I ask for only experienced, kind people to enquire with the right intentions to do right by Bond. This is a really difficult decision and hasn’t been taken lightly, but due to personal circumstances, I need to find him his new home. Open to viewings, he won’t be available unseen.
No time wasters, loans/plans. No tack or rugs available.
Please enquire with your experience, location and setup; pictures would be a bonus.
