Lily is an absolutely fantastic sweet horse who I have owned for over 10 years, and I am very sadly having to sell because I no longer have time to ride her. She was ridden in dressage (up to Medium), did show jumping and eventing in her younger years.
She has no lameness issues, but had a health issue about 6 years ago (guttural pouch mycosis) which means she can no longer do super high-intensity work (i.e. no competing). She is fully recovered from this apart from not being able to sustain a heavy work for long periods of time.
Currently, she is turned out most of the year with young stock, and is very sociable with other horses. She has not been ridden for the last 4 months, but has been in and out of light work over the last few years. She is fine to ride out of the field as long as her workload is gradually increased over the course of a month or so to get her fitness up.
Lily would be a great horse for someone who would like to increase their riding ability with a sweet, safe, and responsive older horse, and/or who would like to go out and do some hacking (she prefers to be hacked with other horses, but it otherwise very good hacker). She would also be happy to be a companion, or a horse used for groundwork in equine therapy .
My main concern is getting Lily to the right home that will be able to give her high quality care year-round. As a thoroughbred, she does need hard feed to supplement her grazing/hay, and she needs rugs in the winter etc, and so cannot simply be left in a field.
