16hh. Irish Sport Horse. Quality Skewbald. Mare, Rising 14 years.
Experienced schoolmistress
Forward off the leg, not strong, very responsive.
Kind temperament.
Hanry Patch (Delilah) is a gentle, experienced horse with a confident demeanour. She is very level-headed and has good understanding of how to work with a rider. She is extremely well-mannered and easy to handle. She is a horse that you can trust and with whom you can build a strong relationship.
Delilah has had 3 homes and has always been extremely well cared for. In her first home she was lightly hunted, then she moved a teenager who owned her for 6 years and took her from fun rides to eventing successfully at 90.
I am a mature rider and have owned Delilah for just 1 year in which time I enjoyed dressage, hacking and jumping. I have to sell her now because of a serious deterioration in my father’s health.
Hacking Delilah is a delight. She hacks really well alone or in company. Traffic, farm vehicles and going under motorway bridges doesn’t bother her at all. She is also sensible in open space and just does what you ask her to. You can also leave her for a few days without her getting fresh.
On the flat, Delilah is balanced and correct. She is well established in 3 paces as well as in basic lateral work.
She is careful and forgiving when she jumps: she likes a forward rhythm without being strong and will find the strides for you. She’s happy with fillers, water trays and ditches. Always brave and bold.
Up to date with vaccinations, dentist, shoes and physio.
Delilah is sound, fit and ready to go! She will be entered up for some events until she is sold.
She has two saddles that have been professionally fitted and a bridle, plus rugs that can be discussed.
Delilah would suit a variety of homes, from grassroots eventing, riding club, dressage, showing or hunting, she is the ultimate alrounder. A loving owner and good home is very important.
