Calli is an absolutely lovely Irish Sport Horse mare with the most fantastic temperament. A true schoolmistress in every sense of the word, she is incredibly genuine, straightforward and forgiving, making her the perfect partner for an amateur rider wanting to go out, have fun and enjoy their horse.
She is exceptionally easy to ride and very much the type that wants to look after her rider. She doesn't require a professional rider to get the best from her and is happy to forgive the odd mistake. She has a lovely attitude towards everything asked of her and is consistently willing and uncomplicated.
On the flat, Calli works correctly in a lovely, consistent outline, with three attractive paces. She is easy to keep together, comfortable to ride and gives her rider a really lovely feel without being demanding.
Calli also has a lovely competition history in Ireland, having successfully competed in Riding Club dressage and showjumping, with some fantastic results to her name. These include finishing 3rd at the 2025 AIRC National Dressage Championships in the Preliminary 3 Open class, scoring 68.60% and 67.95% in her two tests. She was also 2nd in the South East Dressage League Final with an impressive 71.36%, alongside winning at 80cm and being placed at 90cm showjumping.
Jumping is another area where she really shines. She has a super, careful jump and is incredibly genuine to a fence. She doesn't look at fillers, spooky fences or cross-country obstacles and is happy to take everything in her stride. She gives her rider confidence and is the sort you can point at a fence knowing she will do her very best to help you out.
She is to take out and about. She is absolutely no trouble to take competing on your own, with no need for an extra pair of hands. She is beautifully behaved at shows, easy to handle in a busy competition environment and takes everything in her stride. She really is the sort you can load up, take out for the day and thoroughly enjoy without any stress or drama.
She has all the ability and attitude to make a fantastic BE100 prospect, Riding Club, grassroots eventing or all-round competition horse. Equally, she would be just as happy enjoying a varied life of schooling, hacking, clinics and fun rides.
Out hacking, Calli is brilliant both alone and in company and is good in traffic. She is sensible, enjoyable and uncomplicated, making her a lovely horse to have around.
On the ground, she is an absolute sweetheart. Easy to handle, lovely to fuss over and more than happy to stand and enjoy a bath and plenty of attention. She has impeccable manners and is a pleasure to have on the yard.
Completely vice-free.
Calli really is one of those horses that is becoming increasingly difficult to find – a quality, talented mare with a genuinely kind nature and the temperament to match. She has enough ability to go out and be competitive while remaining straightforward, forgiving and enjoyable for an amateur rider.
A truly well-behaved schoolmistress who will give somebody an enormous amount of confidence, enjoyment and fun. The sort of horse you can take out competing one weekend, enjoy a lovely hack the next and know she will always try her very best for you.
