She has a lovely engaged trot, a good relaxed walk with a big over track and a comfortable canter. She is a lovely medium speed who is nicely off the aids but not at all sharp. She works very well between hand and leg and gives a nice feel in the contact. She has been ridden by a range of different riders including a 15 year old girl.

Lilly loves to jump and makes a good shape over a fence. She is a very honest and genuine type and has never refused or ran out. She has jumped courses between 90cm-1m10 in Ireland where she has gained 12 Irish show jumping points. She is a real confidence giver to jump who knows her job well and looks after her rider.

She jumps everything asked of her including hedges, ditches, walls, timbers, coffins, water complexes etc. She gives her rider so much fun and confidence. She has been cross country schooling with a 15year old in just a snaffle jumping 3ft6 fences and giving her the best day out. She would make a super eventer as he is great at all 3 phases.
Lilly has hunted in Ireland with a teenager where she was quiet, mannerly and bold over jumps. She stands rock solid at the meet and gives a very enjoyable ride. She is point and aim over jumps so you can really trust her to jump everything. She would make someone a wonderful hunter.
Lilly is a superb hack, she doesn't bat an eyelid at anything and is often used to give less experienced horses a lead. She happily hacks out alone and in company. She is excellent in traffic, she regularly crossing a busy 'a' road roundabout and will patiently wait until it is clear to cross and isn't fazed by lorries passing her etc. She is great in open spaces and regularity hacks out in a group of horses and will canter in any order without getting strong or fizzy. She has been on long 10 mile hacks, where she has crossed rivers, jumped logs, crossed bridges etc all in a calm manner. She really is so chilled out and you can really relax on her and enjoy yourself. She has done lots of pleasure rides which she really enjoys and she always puts a smile on her riders face. She would suit someone wanting a quality hacking/ pleasure horse as you can’t find a better hack she is just brilliant!

Lilly must sell to a 10* home where she will be loved and cherished. She would make an excellent family horse for everyone to enjoy as she’s such an easy alrounder who will do lots of jobs. She would also make a cracking riding club alrounder as she is good at all disciplines. She would also excel at pure dressage or pure show jumping as she is talented in both areas. She would also be well suited to hunting/ hacking and pleasure rides. She really has so much to offer someone and will bring your confidence on no end. She does have a couple of melanomas which do not affect her in any way but this is reflected in her price as without these she would be a 10k horse.
