JACKMAN R

Further Information

Jackman R is an impressive black gelding with four white socks. Originally Jackman R was kept because Rozzie fell in love with him and his majestic looks. His breeding is sensational with his mother Lynx being a full sister to Londoner. Londoner with Heath in the saddle won the Australian Prix St Georges and Intermediare I Championships when he was just 6 years of age. (These days a horse has to be 7yo to compete at this level.) Anyway Jackman R was out of Lynx and by Jive Magic who is currently Rozzie’s big hope for the London 2012 Olympics. Breeding doesn’t get much better than that and Jackman R also had the looks. The truth is despite all of this Jackman R just isn’t cut out to go to the Olympics. So now he is looking for a good home where Olympics are not the expectation. In earlier days Jackman R competed extensively in Young Rider classes with Bree Tilitzki in the saddle up to and including Elementary level. Today Jackman R has good shoulder-in, half-pass, single flying changes, canter pirouettes and the beginnings of some really good piaffe. Not too far off doing a Prix St Georges test. He is a good horse. To handle Jackman R is really steady and a total gentleman to float and shoe. He can be left for weeks without being ridden and then saddled up and away you go. He is a responsive ride but still very quiet. We are a little reluctant to advertise him as a beginners horse but he is very close to that.
