16 jähriger Wallach sucht Traumzuhause

It is with a heavy heart that I am selling my 16-year-old, 1.74m tall gelding Paul. Unfortunately I can no longer do him justice due to time constraints. He came to me from the breeder when he was 3 years old and has never been owned by anyone else.
Paul is a very special fellow. He is usually super sweet and well-behaved. But he can also be a bit of an ass when he's in a bad mood. He puts his ears back and snaps or lifts his hind leg. But he bites himself and doesn't kick. He has never bitten or kicked me!
But this can be better discussed in a personal conversation.

He goes out with others, but prefers to go with a buddy rather than alone. When he goes alone, he sometimes sees ghosts here and there but is always manageable.
He is very easy to ride in the arena. However, he likes to put weak and new riders to the test when cantering.
My son (10) can also ride out with him (including cantering) and in the arena. Tacking out is no problem. Up until 2017, he was shown at competitions in all classes up to elementary level. He also jumps a small course with weaker riders. However, he no longer has any competition ambitions.

He suffers from sweet itch, but this is well treated with a 24/7 rug during the cattle season. Nevertheless, you should be aware that an eczema horse can always mean more work.
Three years ago, he broke his left hind leg, which is why his leg is always a little thicker. Otherwise he is in perfect health. He has never had a colic.

He is shod at the front and is also well-behaved at the farrier.
He usually goes on the trailer without any problems, but he doesn't like to ride. He usually stands rather restlessly, at least towards the end of the ride. At least that's how it used to be. He hasn't ridden a trailer for years.

I will only sell it to the very best hands. Space definitely before price. Definitely NOT a distress sale
I would prefer him to be kept in an open stable in his new home as he is used to this. He is currently in a herd with 24 other horses, where he is the boss. A very good boss!

Currently only ridden recreationally
