O’Brien is the type of horse to purchase exclusively for his incredible even temperment, and then get his beautiful correct gaits and handsome looks as a bonus.
O’Brien has top bloodlines as he was bred by one of the most renowned stallion centers in the Netherlands. Desperado x Negro. Due to his good health, bloodlines and type he was selected for the first viewing of KWPN stallion prospects as a 2.5 year old which is an honor in itself. When he was not approved as a breeding stallion, he was then gelded and started under saddle professionally.
As a 4 year old he competed in the young horse classes and scored up to 80% and competed at the very competitive Pavo cup in Ermelo.
As I purchased O’Brien from his breeder, his history is known and he has always been well trained and looked after and it definitely shows when riding him.
Riding O’Brien he gives an incredibly safe and uncomplicated feeling. Not spooky whatsoever. Very forgiving. Not too sensitive and not too dull. Absolutely a joy to ride. He feels much more mature than his age.
O’Brien has a brand new vetting and set of radiographs including neck and back, all with no comment!
O’Brien has a lovely temperament on the ground and is sweet and cuddly.
O’Brien would be suitable for an amateur in a program, or a professional looking for the best temperament imaginable to bring to the top.
