An awesome and buzzy chestnut mare that loves her work and is looking for a rider to match her enthusiasm. Foxy has competed up to 1m with scope to go higher, she gives an unbelievable feeling making no jump feel too big. Foxy hasn’t been registered with BS so is perfect to do bronze league and other qualifiers on starting from 0 points.
Foxy has also competed in hunter trials & XC schooled, she is completely un-phased by fillers/water/steps/owl holes etc, ditches need a little bit of work! She is honest and genuine, really wants to get to the other side of the fence, so will take a miss without holding it against you.
Foxy hacks out 4 days a week on her own in Bedgebury forest therefore used to children, dogs, bikes etc. She will occasional do an excitable leap if you really buzz her up, but nothing that would unseat the standard of rider that would be looking to buy her. She is snaffle mouthed for everything.
Foxy is super easy to handle, she comes in the field when you call her, loves to be groomed, and is the type that would climb into your pocket if you let her, she’s that friendly.
With every great chestnut mare comes a few bits that you’ll have to learn to love -
* She has occasionally been known to rear. It happens so rarely that most sellers wouldn’t mention it, but I feel important to add. It’s only happened 3 times since I bought her in January. I am happy to discuss the scenarios that caused it.
* She had grade 3 ulcers when I bought her, likely caused by being brought over from Ireland, these have since been treated and scoped clear with no signs of returning. Vet report available.
* Wears a red ribbon at shows as she’s not a fan of horses riding really close/up her bum! Hasn’t ever kicked, just used as a precaution to keep her happy.
Up to date with absolutely everything - teeth, saddle, physio, vaccinations etc, no expense has been spared on her.
