Smokey is an absolute gem.  He has very good paces and an amazing temperament.  Regularly scoring over 70% in the dressage.  He has a good jump and is very careful.  Cross country he is straight forward and brave.  Very quiet to ride and handle.   Smokey is a very calm, no fuss horse that takes everything in this stride.

In just one season Smokey has achieved much success, here are a few of his highlights:

1st Intro Sydney CNC (Feb 11)

4th Prelim Albury CIC (Mar 11)

1st Prelim Silver Hills CNC (April 11)

1st 1A & 6th 2A Hawkesbury Dressage (April 11)

1st 4yo Young Event Horse - Sydney weekend of world cups (May 11)

2nd Prelim Sydney CIC (May 11)

2nd Prelim Canberra CNC (May 11)

1st Prelim Camden CNC (Aug 11)

7th Pre Novice Mirrabooka (Oct 11)

2nd Pre Novice Wallaby Hill (Oct 11)

Smokey has attended several jump club days and jumped confidently and clear around 1.1m.

My original plan was to campaign this horse to 2* or 3* level and then sell him for big money, however Smokey has a small cataract in an eye which will prevent him from being a big money horse.  At this stage the cataract is not affecting his vision at all.

As a result this horse is offered for sale well below his true value.

$12 000
