Goose is a seriously good-looking Irish Sport Horse with quality, presence and some of the most influential bloodlines found in modern Irish pedigrees. He Dignified Vant Zorgvliet and out of a mare by the renowned OBOS Quality 004—breeding associated with athletic, scopey and versatile competition horses.

 

He has attended several training shows with us, as well as travelling out to arena hires, and is comfortably jumping courses of 90cm. He has a very willing attitude, always tries to answer the question, he is not strong or silly and his technique over a fence is progressing well with balance.

 

His schooling is also progressing nicely. He works in an outline and is becoming more balanced. Goose has competed in a small handful of dressage competitions at home at Prelim level, receiving respectable scores and some really positive comments from the judges. He is certainly not the finished article yet, but he has plenty of natural quality and gives his rider a lovely feeling, there is lots more to come as he becomes stronger and gains experience and exposure.

 

Goose hacks alone and in company and is very straightforward to take out. He has seen farm traffic, is good in open spaces and does not become hot. He is the sort that enjoys getting out and seeing the world, which will only continue to benefit his education and his confidence in his rider.

​

He is good to catch and load, and is a nice, friendly horse to handle on the ground. He can occasionally require a little patience with his feet and is currently shod in front, but he is improving all the time.

 

Goose was imported from Ireland in the middle of 2025 and, quite honestly, green was an understatement! He had not had the easiest or most consistent start to his ridden career, so we have taken our time with him and have started to produce him with his long-term future firmly in mind. He has come an incredibly long way and deserves a home that will continue to give him the confidence and understanding he needs, he is not easy, can be sharp when overthinking, but does not rear or buck.

 

For this reason, he is priced accordingly as an ongoing project. His home is the absolute priority, and we would love to see him with someone who appreciates the work that has gone into him already and is excited to continue producing a talented, genuine horse with a very promising future.

​

This super horse will only be sold to an experienced rider, who has the confidence to carry on the work that has already been put in.
