Matilda was imported from Ireland a year and a half ago, where she came out of training as being ‘too slow’. Which is very easy to appreciate as sometimes she can be described as a cob in a tb suit! She is a relaxed and easy little horse and will mooch out hacking on the buckle end all day!
Mathilda is working well in the school and has began her education in flat work. She has taken to this like a duck to water. She is intelligent and willing to learn and work and enjoys her job. She has a lovely mouth and works consistently on the bridle in walk, trot and canter. She has been out to a couple of dressage tests and was fabulous in the lorry/warm up/and not spooky at the boards/car!
She has a lovely pop, and is bold over all fillers. She isn’t spooky atall, and has been to show jumping clear round show. We have kept the fences small (70cms) as she is still developing her technique and confidence around a course, but she has lots of scope to go on to be a top end riding club horse.
She hacks alone and in company, is good in all traffic. I have passed tractors and motorcycles and she has been good as gold. She’s not a spooky horse in any way and I have never found her to be sharp. She never naps and enjoys to be out and about, ears always pricked!
Mathilda is good to shoe- stands tied up for the farrier to shoe alone. she can fidget a little with her hinds but never lashes out or kicks and this has improved with each shoeing.
Mathilda will happily live in or out. She turns out in with other mares I don’t personally mix mares and geldings but she is a quiet type and I’ve never noticed if or when she is in season, so I wouldn’t say she is a Mareish horse atall. She never pulls a face or puts her ears back at you.
Mathilda loads onto my 3.5 lorry easily and travels well, I haven’t had her in a trailer as I don’t have one, but it is known that she travels on one from previous owners. She will stand at a show on the lorry when her friend is taken away with no bother.
She moves straight and correct and her flat work is coming on all the time, i think Mathilda would excel in a riding club home, I see her as being a fabulous event horse as she is so bold and willing and generous wither work ethic. She is straight moving and has a lovely trot so would also excel in RoR showing classes or pure dressage.
Doesn’t weave/box walk/wind suck/crib and has clean limbs, no sarcoids, sweet itch.
Doesn’t include tack/wardrobe.
Open to any vetting

This is a little horse that I am very very fond of, so 5* home is paramount!
