Neo is quite simply one of the coolest horses I have ever had. He is a blast to hoon around the farm bareback, he puts up with being turned out then dragged out of the paddock so that I can have a fun ride over the hills, or he will equally happily play 'Uncle' for new horses arriving on the property.

Neo's forte is jumping. He is fun and honest. He has fantastic knees too (always commented on, especially by the showhunter judges). Neo is showjumping competitively to 1.10m and schooling related lines higher.

Neo has evented up to Training level, and schooled PreNovice/Novice combinations. He drives straight into water, leaps up and down banks, hardly notices ditches and generally pops around having a ball of a time.

Neo is eligible for the pinto rings at A&P shows and has done the in-hand section successfully - placing in his age classes and winning the jumping suitability sections.

Dressage is something that I have absolutely not put the work into him that I should have (everything else is too fun!). To this end, you're not going to win a dressage test on him tomorrow - but he is kind and accurate in the arena, and if you wanted to put the work in you could easily bring his scores up. But really - you'll have much more fun jumping and hacking out and hooning around on him!

Neo is a supercool dude. Suitable first hack.

Superb to clip, shoe, truck, pony (lead) off others, worm. But when he's finished his dinner he'll throw his bucket at you in demand of a refill!

In work & ready to go!
