Ketchup is a fancy 17 hand thoroughbred gelding who has competed through training level eventing and schooled third level dressage. He has schooled lots of prelim cross country and is comfortable jumping prelim height in show jumping. For dressage he has started all the lateral work, has an easy clean change, and has started tempi’s as well as piaffe in hand. I should be honest, at the moment he is primarily being ridden bareback; sometimes I don’t even bother putting a bridle on, so he's not entirely "legged up". Due to the typical thoroughbred shenanigans he is best suited for a calm, confident rider, although he's actually a pretty lazy dude. I believe he would be most happy as a casual lower level partner in crime, however he has the talent to move up and be competitive in both pure dressage and eventing with the right human. He has the most lovable and goofy personality and genuinely wants to be your best friend. The only reason he is for sale is because his owner does not have time to give him the attention he deserves while in college.
