3 Diamonds Farm is proud to present for a client: Like Magic (or simply Magic in the barn)! Magic is a beautiful black beauty, 14 year old, 15.3hh Thoroughbred gelding. Bred in West Virginia, Magic is a gorgeous and compact mount, but with lovely confirmation and presence. He has a very kind eye too. He comes from lines known for making great dressage and event horses, as his sire is Ghostly Minister and his dam is Dancing Trieste. His lines go back to A.P. Indy, Seattle Slew, Northern Dancer, and the great Secretariat, which only shows in his ability to dance in the dressage court and his scope jumping.

Magic has experience through prelim level eventing and second level dressage, but is looking for a step down to teach his new rider the ropes of eventing at training or below, or move up the levels of straight dressage with his new rider. All ammy eventers or dressage riders looking for a quiet, experienced, and kind schoolmaster would absolutely love Magic. He is beyond stunning on the flat with three quality gaits, which make him incredibly competitive in straight dressage and could help his new rider get their bronze or silver medals. He is also a fun and safe horse in stadium and cross country. Tons of scope and a real confidence booster jumping, but he is more forward thinking jumping. Magic has the feel of a schoolmaster and therefore would suit a number of different riders. In addition to being an incredible competition horse, Magic enjoys trail riding, hacks, and other adventures, both alone and in company. He doesn’t mind dog friends in the barn or around him out riding, but we do not think the life of a foxhunter would suit him.

Magic has impeccable manners in every way and is a sweetheart, pet of a horse. He stands so perfectly on the cross ties, at the trailer, and at the mounting block… you could actually walk away and just leave him there. Perfect for the vet and farrier, as well as to groom and tack. Magic does require some maintenance consistent with a horse this special. He has very good feet, but wears four shoes. His front feet sport tiny wedge pads to support his front feet and help his angles. He also requires front coffin joint injections yearly and is on a joint support supplement, which honestly is a small price to pay to have a horse of this caliber. Magic is also an easy keeper and is currently inside during the day and turned out overnight. He has no health issues and zero vices. He is up to date on everything including shots, dental, coggins, etc.

This is an incredibly rare opportunity to own or lease an extremely talented and experienced horse that could really help an ammy or teen learn this sport and earn a bunch of ribbons while doing so. Magic is a packer schoolmaster and happy to teach someone the ropes of eventing at training and below. But, he is the most amazing mover in the dressage court and could easily help someone win many dressage shows and collect their dressage medals. Because this horse is so incredible, the match is beyond important to our entire team. Please inquire with some information about your riding, your goals, and the program you are in. We want to find Magic his perfect person and would love to hear all about you to best determine if you and Magic would be a perfect match!

Magic is also available for lease for $10,000.00 a year.
