Meet Tommy Tankersley: South Yorkshire’s Gentle Giant on the Market

Standing tall at 16.2hh and just seven years old, Tommy Tankersley is a striking Irish gelding ready for a new chapter. After four years serving with South Yorkshire Police, this lovely lad is on the lookout for a fresh home where he can truly thrive.

Well-Trained and Traffic-Safe

Tommy is a smashing, gentle horse with top-notch ground and mounted manners. He’s no stranger to the beat, having regularly patrolled busy streets and remained completely traffic-safe throughout. Outgoing and keen to please, he’s shown promise in the school, even tackling jumps and clinics, though he’s keen to brush up his skills.

Health Cleared After Surgery

Previously, Tommy had surgery to correct a locking stifle, but there’s been no impact on his health or performance. He has passed his vetting with flying colours, proving he’s fit and ready for future challenges.

For Sale – New Home Needed

The police force is selling Tommy through no fault of his own. Despite his charm and ability, he hasn’t quite made the grade as a police horse. Now, they’re eager to find him a caring home where he can reach his full potential.
