Taunton Vale Franklin 

A super flash TB gelding  (regularly gets mistaken as a WB), is being advertised due to no fault of his own. We are trying to reduce numbers due to time constraints and other commitments. 

We have had Franklin since 2019, he is a super easy going chilled guy who would make a lovely pony club or adult riders mount. He has had all levels of riders on him and seems to adjust to rider capability! He has no dirt (slight buck on lunge in canter when not in work) but nothing under saddle or in hand. 

Franklin has an extensive dressage background with his last owner who bred him, and has done eventing with myself in the last two years where he was very successful at 65cm! He is bold cross country, has a lovely movement for dressage. His weakness is showjumping above 65cm, he just has a few more rails but is properly established at 65 and was going clear in showjumping at each event. He did two rounds at 70cm at the last training day with two rails, I think he just needs consistency. 

I did do one event at 80cm where he nailed the cross country but just had quite a few rails in the showjumping so I decided to keep him going at 65cm.

We will only let home go to the best of homes, as that is our main priority for this sweet boy. He is currently out of work.
