Sad sale of a much loved horse, perfect for a competent amateur/professional who wants to produce up the levels on a budget. Very honest ad.
11yo mare by Treliver Decanter (DiMaggio). Very low mileage for her age, competed in both low level BD BS in and previous homes. A very sweet horse to handle and have around the yard, with a kind temperament on the ground. Will stand all day for cuddles and really wants to be someone’s best friend. In a one to one home will be your horse of a life time. A quality horse ready to go and have fun with someone, suitable for someone looking for a talented horse to produce and enjoy on a smaller budget. She is straightforward ride, well schooled and a beautiful mover, especially for someone who really knows their schooling.
She is not a novice ride, although my novice mum is currently having weekly lessons on her and getting to grips with basic dressage and she has been showing her the ropes. However she is a high blood mare, and can be sharp when spooked. Never nasty but she requires a soft but firm rider with a stable seat. She has beautiful paces, a lovely floaty trot & a big uphill canter.
She was bred for dressage and is a lovely mover, we feel she would be best suited to a dressage home where she can be worked consistently and progress through the levels. She has a huge scopey jump, however she is sensitive and takes a lot of confidence from her rider, she will take a miss but if this results in her mouth being pulled on or her rider being unseated she does not take well to this. She would need a well-balanced, accurate, experienced rider if you were interested in jumping her, and whilst I have no doubt she would succeed in a showjumping home she would require some work in this area to get the best results.
We have hacked her out, can be hit or miss whether she will hack out alone but will happily follow a leader in company. With someone more confident, I’m sure she would hack alone, however I had a very bad fall off a previous horse hacking and I am reluctant to push through when she is startled by something. Again, nothing nasty, she will just plant if something startles her and can be reluctant to get going again. Not an issue if following another horse and have hacked all around the local lanes. If you have off road hacking I do feel this would be better suited for her.
She was bought as a mother daughter share to hack/have fun at home and take out competing when possible, however we have no transport and haven’t been in the position to take her out. She has been to arena hire\arena xc\competitions in previous homes. We love her very much, and she is so kind and so sweet and probably the most talented horse we’ve ever owned, however we just don’t have the time to be consistent with her. Would love to see her go to a good home.
She passed a 5 stage vetting last year, is currently barefoot and hasn't been sick or sorry in the year that we've had her. Videos available upon request.
