Excellent Quarter Horse gelding, 7 years old, sensitive and eager to work

Sometimes things turn out differently than expected. After much consideration, I am selling my Quarter Horse gelding because I currently cannot do justice to him, nor will I be able to in the coming years. Hick is eager to work, demands full attention from his handler, and then shows all that he is capable of. He needs someone who can ride him multiple times a week (preferably daily), work with him, challenge, and develop him. He is absolutely fearless and clear-minded. A recent health check from 2024 shows no findings. However, he cannot tolerate dry hay in his stall or outside. Since he lives in an active stable where only haylage is fed, he remains symptom-free. This has been confirmed by the veterinarian.  
Hick is 6 years old and 16.1 hands tall. He has basic Western groundwork and riding training. He is eager to learn, diligent, and curious.  
He rides well, responds effectively to body language and aids.  

Since he had a winter break, we are currently restarting groundwork, lunging, and working with a bitless bridle. Previously, he was ridden with a Western saddle and an English saddle before winter. As he has recently been laid down again, only an English saddle with a pad is suitable at the moment.  

If you are looking for a leisure partner whom you can further train and have plenty of time to dedicate, please contact me with a brief description.  
He is well socialized within the herd and tends to be dominant; however, the existing mixed herd has already appointed him as the leader.  

Since we are not interested in free-riders, each trial ride will be charged at €30 and will be deducted from the purchase price.
