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, tons 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 prospect—heart, athleticism, and a genuine love for having a job.

Carter is the definition of a fun, versatile all-around type with the talent to shine in multiple rings. He absolutely loves to jump and is bold, honest, and unfazed by fillers or new questions. Brave enough to eat up a cross-country course, scopey enough to continue in the jumper ring, and with the demeanor to enjoy fox hunting, this is a horse that wants to go out and have fun with his person. He already has schooling show mileage with jumper success and has proven himself to be a smart, willing partner who learns quickly.

On the ground, Carter is a total puppy dog with the sweetest in-your-pocket personality. Easy to handle, excellent to ship, stands quietly in cross ties, great for baths, and all the day-to-day basics with no drama. Suitable for an amateur in a supportive program that will help him stay happy and successful.

He is kind, honest, and enjoyable, but his athleticism and enthusiasm for the job make him equally appealing for a more competitive rider looking for a talented prospect to develop.

If you’re looking for a classy Thoroughbred with all the heart, bravery, and talent to be your next eventer, jumper, or all-around partner, Coach Carter is one you’ll want on your list.
