POA Chester has been shown in hand over the past 3 years and has multiple champions in this discipline. I backed Chester myself a year ago and have gradually introduced him to this quietly and carefully over this time to build him a happy and willing attitude towards being ridden. Chester has been to Scott O'Malley for ground handling initially and I have continued this at home. Since being ridden, Chester has had 2 weeks schooling with Natasha Waddell who has started polishing him for his showing career. He will spend a final 6 weeks with Natasha at the end of July 2024 to be ready for the coming ridden show season. Chester can be viewed at Natasha Waddell's property in Ashburton during this time Chester is not a beginner's horse, nor is he a first-time young horse owner. It is essential that he goes to an experienced owner who has the ability and knowledge to take this young horse into his next phase of riding. Chester is top show ring quality and has the presence and ability to take someone to HOY next year. He is striking and his charisma is noticed at every show he's at. Chester is great to ride and is quiet. He has No buck or bolt in him and thrives off lots of work and learns quickly. He responds perfectly to kind and direct instruction and will do what you ask of him willingly. Chester relies on the trust he has with his human and requires this security to continue building his own confidence. He's not dependent on other horses. Chester requires further mileage under saddle at shows however, he has been to many shows over the last few years in hand, so is very familiar with the scene. Chester will only be sold to an approved, experienced home that is wanting their next top show horse. POA only to serious interested parties. . Vanessa Baxter . 0275649255
