Moorelands Crossword aka Bambi
Many many placings aff & unaff 90-1.10 🏅
Bambi is incredibly well schooled, she rides entirely off the seat & leg meaning that whatever she can do with a bridle, she can also do without! She is always ridden in a snaffle.
To jump she is absolutely phenomenal. She is incredibly careful, stays in a lovely rhythm, doesn’t rush to a jump and will happily take a miss.
She has trained around 1.20 courses but is most comfortable & competitive up to 1.10 - we always come away with frillies at shows!
Quick in a jump off when asked - I’ve had lots of fun with some crazy turns and she always takes it in her stride and locks onto the next jump.
She hasn’t been out recently as I’m struggling to find time to ride her.
Brilliant feet, (shod in front, barefoot behind) could easily go barefoot in front.
Good to clip, shoe, load, dentist etc. Very laidback to handle around the yard - leads in without a headcollar, gets ridden out to the field bareback. Lives in a mixed herd.
Perfect to hack alone or in company in all traffic (we hack on a lorry road), always on the buckle and the confidence giver for other horses on a hack.
Never been lame, sick or sorry. Don’t be put off by her age - I know her full history and she has never been pushed. Not showing any signs of slowing down!
Bambi is not suitable for a nervous rider. She is perfectly relaxed and easy to ride for a confident rider, however she can pick up on a rider’s nerves and become tense.
She does have mild headshaking syndrome but this has never affected her work - she’s absolutely fine in the winter and just needs to wear a nose net in the summer.
Her only vice is that she cribs. This has never been a problem for us, we put a wooden bar on her stable door so that she can crib as she pleases and replace it every couple of years when she wears through it. She has never had any other issues stemming from the cribbing. I don’t want her going to someone who will put a collar on her or try to stop her.
Very honest sale and only to go to the best of homes who we hope to stay in touch with - there is the opportunity for continued coaching from myself for someone local! Only for sale as I’ve just got too many horses and don’t have the time to ride her, would absolutely love to keep her.

I have owned her for 5 years and know her full history so please don’t hesitate to ask questions!
