European Life: Sprocket has several show experiences under his belt and has shown up through the 1.20m level. He has ample of scope to be an upper level horse.

On the Ground: Sprocket is extremely kind, calm and lovable on the ground. He has a true gentle puppy dog personality and absolutely loves to be loved on. He is great in the cross ties, will stand all day to be groomed and to be bathed. He is easy to lead and has no stable or field vices.

Sprocket is happy to live outside 24/7 or in a normal boarding barn situation. He is as calm in his stall as he is out in the field. There is not much, if anything, that excites this horse. He has a wonderful brain and will be a barn favorite. He is easy to load and is great to trailer.

Under Saddle: Sprocket is a very fun and enjoyable ride under saddle. On the flat, he is well educated and very well balanced. He extends and collects easily, bends around the leg and moves off of leg great. He is very easy to collect on the bit and will also happily go around on the buckle. His motor is very steady; you tell him to go forward and he will, you tell him to whoah and he will. Sprocket does not have a spook and really has a fantastic brain for his age.

Over fences, Sprocket enjoys a slightly more forward pace. He likes to seek out the jump and move up for the distance. He is very steady over fences and provides a nice uphill ride. He hasn’t looked at anything we have pointed him at yet.

Sprocket is suitable for an advanced rider and up. Someone who has education of an independent seat, leg and hand. He moves off of leg easily and does not like a heavy handed rider. He is a very soft ride. His gaits and jump are very smooth. Due to his age and experience, he is recommended for an advanced rider who wants to bring along a young horse. Though he is fantastic for his age, he does still have green moments. He does best in a professional program and could certainly be for a well riding junior or amateur who is a confident rider. His changes are still a little green, but he is a very honest horse who just wants to please.

Sprocket is consistently doing 2’6” courses at home with the occasional higher height training. We won’t push him at higher fences until he is done growing.
