Coach Carter

Meet Coach Carter, a 2016 Thoroughbred gelding standing 16.3h with all the ingredients to be a seriously exciting partner for the right rider. Imported from Ireland after a successful steeplechase career, Carter brings an incredible foundation, plenty of mileage, and a level of bravery that is hard to teach. Since transitioning into his second career, he has shown exactly what we love to see in a sport horse—heart, athleticism, and a genuine love for having a job.

Carter is the definition of a fun, athletic show horse prospect. He absolutely loves to jump and is bold, honest, and unfazed by new questions. Currently schooling 1.00m courses at home, he is ready to continue his career in a hunter or jumper program and step into the show ring. He has already gained valuable schooling show experience and continues to prove himself as a smart, willing partner who learns quickly and wants to please.

On the ground, Carter is a total puppy dog with the sweetest in-your-pocket personality. He loves attention, enjoys being part of the daily routine, and is the type that quickly becomes a barn favorite. Easy to handle, excellent to ship, stands quietly in cross ties, great for baths, grooming, and all the day-to-day basics with no drama. He turns out happily with other geldings and fits into just about any herd situation.

Suitable for an amateur in a program, while also offering enough athleticism and talent to appeal to a professional looking for a quality prospect to bring along.

If you're looking for a classy Thoroughbred with a great brain, endless heart, natural athletic ability, and a personality that will make you smile every day, Coach Carter deserves a spot at the very top of your list
