Donated to Marcus Oldham College for the ESB scholarship. Owned by Heidi Andrews and is FOR SALE "She's 14, 15.2hh Been in light work, would suit confident beginner or second horse as she can be strong at times. Took me through ponyclub, did a few grade 4 pony club events then some showjumping up to 90cm. Has a great jump on her but needs a firm leg as she can be a bit spooky. Have attended clinics with Blyth tait, Lucinda Green and Shane Rose. Kind nature and great arounds kids, dogs and traffic. Great to ride down road by herself and/or in company. I am asking $4000."

Comments from Jill Lockhart

"ESB Golden Goblin was my first young horse. I picked him up from ESB, straight from the breaker. Goblin was a sensitive boy but has such a laid back nature, it made teaching him a joy. He took everything in his stride and when introducing him to new things he gave his all.

Its amazing how trusting young horses are and Goblin's nature and attitude was beyond his young years! His first outing I took him to was a local pony club gymkhana, nothing like bunting and kids flying around on ponies to test you out. Goblin didn't bat an eyelid at any of it, and I decided that he was my 5yr old school master!

He placed in every event I took him in from the gymkhana, to a local combined training (where he won!) and unofficial EFA dressage. Always coming home with the ribbons. He has natural talent for dressage, he just floated around the arena. And very bold and willing in the show jumping. It was a tough decision to sell him, but I couldn't be happier to see him doing so well with his current owner.

Cleaning up at all the competitions and getting amazing comments from the judges. Very rewarding to see him doing so well and enjoying his work. Goblin made my first young horse experience a good one, and I'll definitely be doing it again :) "

"I'm very lucky to have come across ESB Irish Goblin. I spent a lot of time looking for another horse when I came across him. Goblin is a very special horse in every way. He is one of the quietest horses I've ever owned while he needs you to give him confidence he will never say no he just tries so hard to do what your asking He had very nice basics established when I got him and he has gone in leaps and bounds since then.

Where ever he goes he is always complimented as he is very eye catching, well behaved and a very nice moving horse. He always scores very highly in his dressage tests and is competing novice and training elementary he doesn't very often come home unplaced. He is jumping 80cm comfortably he started his jump training late but has taken to it beautifully and hoping to get out to some more events soon. He is just such a special horse and he will always mean a lot to me and be part of the family."
