Cleo is as lovely as they get. She has been with us for a full hunt season, giving many of our customers wonderful and safe days hunting.
She is only ever ridden in a snaffle and is a total on-the-buckle ride.
Always very chilled out, loads and stands on the lorry, will come off and tie to the side and stand quietly. Easy to tack up and mount from a block, and will stand nice and quietly at the meet. Good with hounds and large crowds of horses, even if the person behind you uses her butt for brakes.
She’s hunted with The Staff College Drag, Surrey Union, Coakham Bloodhounds and The Crawley & Horsham. She’s happy to stay at the back with the non-jumpers or be up front doing all the hedges.
We’ve been cross-country schooling with her around many venues such as East Bysshe, Lockskinners, Littleton Manor & Munstead. She has popped around unaffiliated at Felbridge and Pyecombe in the 80cm SJ. Again, always very chilled in the show environment. You can pop her back on the lorry to walk the course etc. and you don’t even know you’ve got her onboard, which always takes half the stress out of the situation.
To hack, she is very easy alone and with friends, open spaces, traffic, farm machinery and livestock. Where we are based, we have to ride through livestock, cattle and sheep on a daily basis and cross a very busy road with lots of big trucks and artic lorries. We regularly are out in the fields to feed them all with the tractor, which she loves as this means dinner time!
Easy mare, there is not a nap in her, never bucked, reared or bolted. Does not need riding every day. Bred in Ireland & imported in 2024 as a very lightly backed just started rising 4yo: produced correctly and slowly:
Good to load, catch, clip and shoe. Absolutely no vices what so ever.
We would rather she did not go to a novice home as she really does enjoy getting out and about doing the job properly.
