Homefortheweekend - Stunning, Talented, & Scopey Jumper!

3 Diamonds Farm is proud to present for a client: Homefortheweekend! Fondly called Homer in the barn, this 9-year-old, 17.1hh, Thoroughbred gelding is an incredibly talented jumper with quality gaits! Bred in Kentucky, Homer is a striking chestnut with two white socks and a pretty white blaze. He comes from very sporty breeding with noteworthy legacy on both sides of his pedigree, including Mr. Prospector, Unbridled, Northern Dancer, and the great Secretariat. With such impressive breeding, it is no wonder that Homer is such an incredibly talented jumper and so elegant on the flat. Homer raced a total of twenty-one times; only winning two, taking second once, and third five times, earning a total of $54,753. Homer last raced in 2020 and has been enjoying his new life as a successful sport horse ever since!

Homer is a very talented training level eventer with lovely gaits for dressage. His best dressage score to date was a 30 (70%) at a recognized horse trial. However, Homer would like a career change to pure show jumping. Homer has experience through the 1.10m and 1.15m jumpers and is ready to keep moving up the levels with ease. Homer has a natural ability to fly around even the trickiest and big show jump courses. He has a confirmed lead change and the scope that any show jumper is hoping to find in their next mount. Recent successful outings include Jump 4 Fun at Upperville and Loudon Benefit at Upperville. And he is ready to step into the show ring with his new rider. Homer is heading to Princeton to compete next!

Homer is ever the pro at shows and travels perfectly. Lovely in the barn and in turnout with great ground manners. Excellent for the farrier and vet. Update to date on everything. He is a forward thinking jumper though, who knows he is hot stuff, so he can have a look and a spook consistent with a horse of this high quality and talent. However, he is incredibly rideable and adjustable on course and little things that get his attention when not competing, do not bother him on course one bit. He wears four regular shoes and had a touch of maintenance in the past consistent with a horse of this caliber (specifically he had his stifles injected only once). He is also on a daily feedthrough joint supplement. Only offered for sale because he won’t be an upper level eventer, as he really enjoys show jumping so much more!
