Good As Gold (Rhea)
16.1hh | 14-year-old AES Schoolmistress Mare
Rhea is a truly exceptional, high-quality schoolmistress offering talent, temperament and versatility in equal measure. An ideal choice for a discerning amateur, a teenager stepping up the levels, or a mother–daughter share seeking a genuine, confidence-giving partner.
She is a beautifully bred mare by Alex H x Daggers Drawn xx Shalford and possesses the kindest, most genuine nature. Rhea is entirely uncomplicated and mannerly, with no mareish behaviour. She is impeccable to handle: easy to catch, clip, shoe and manage, and is equally happy stabled alone or in company. She loads and travels faultlessly, both alone and with others, and will stand quietly on the lorry or trailer — quite literally good as gold.
On the flat, Rhea offers three correct, balanced and uphill paces, giving a polished and comfortable feel. She has a proven and established dressage record, having competed successfully up to Medium level, achieving scores of up to 65%. She holds British Dressage points at Prelim, Novice and Medium, has competed at Elementary Area Festivals, and has represented at Summer Regionals at Novice level, demonstrating her consistency and trainability.
Rhea is an equally impressive and confidence-inspiring jumper. She has a rhythmic, adjustable canter and a careful, correct technique, always remaining balanced and rideable. She is brave and honest, never saying no, and recently took a nervous rider comfortably around a 1.05m course. She happily jumps fillers, water trays and unfamiliar fences with ease. She has competed in unaffiliated show jumping and has also jumped BS on a ticket. She currently has no BS points, making her an excellent opportunity for someone seeking a genuine, competitive no-points horse who is proven to deliver a reliable round.
She has competed consistently in previous homes around 1m unaffiliated show jumping, with scope to go higher, and comes with glowing references from all previous homes — a true testament to her quality, rideability and kind nature.
She has a fantastic all-round record, having competed in unaffiliated eventing, hunter trials and arena eventing. Rhea has been out hunting and was super bold, happily jumping hedges and ditches, proving what a genuine and brave ride she is. She recently competed in Arena Eventing again with us, finishing with only time penalties after the rider unfortunately got lost on course.
Rhea hacks happily both alone and in company and is a pleasure to have in the yard. She is a versatile, talented and enjoyable mare with an exceptional amount to offer the right rider.
