11yr Thoroughbred Bred Sport Horse Hunter/Jumper/Equ

Additional Comments:
Avalon's Rudy is a 11yr old Thoroughbred that was bred as a sport horse and was never raced by Melissa Mihalovich by the sire Dark Hyacinth who has been on the USEF hunter breading list as a top Hunter Sire. I bought him at 3 and brought him along slowly as I wanted him to remain sound and healthy. Rudy has competed for the last several years mostly as a Hunter and an Equitation mount. Over the last year I have moved him into Jumpers as he tends to be a little quick over a course. He is extremely handy and his turns are top notch. His movement is fantastic and always places undersaddle. He trot is very flowy. We competed the last 2 show seasons at 3ft but at home have schooled up to 3'6". This boy has the jump in him and all the talent and scope you could ask for. I have trail ridden him and gone just about everywhere with him. We even did a demo for Colleen Kelly in a round pen at WEG in 2010. He placed 2nd last year at the Aiken horse show in Amateur US in a class of 16 and tough completion. He has won year end Championships every year in MOHJO and MHSA since 2008. Saying all that he is not a ride for a beginner rider. He needs an advanced rider who can support him and navigate him around a course. He is UTD on everything and has no vices. This one has more personality than any horse I have owned and this is a hard decision to even think about selling him. This boy is a looker, he has a classic hunter face. He is a big boy just under 17H.

My only reason for even listing him is I have bought a new horse to do Hunters on and I just dont have the money or the time to show 2 horses. He to nice to not be in the show ring.
