Flora 🤍 Beautiful 16.1hh Grey Irish Thoroughbred Mare | 9 Years | Irish Bred 🤍
A beautiful mare with a kind temperament and all the ingredients to make a fantastic all-round competition horse.
She retired from racing last year and has been given plenty of time to let down, strengthen and enjoy life outside of the racing industry. Since then, her education has focused on building solid foundations, allowing her to develop correctly without being rushed.
She has been exceptionally well cared for, with regular physiotherapy, chiropractic treatments, saddle fitting and routine healthcare throughout her retraining.
❤️ Temperament
This mare has a wonderful nature and is a pleasure to have around. She is kind, affectionate and incredibly easy to handle. She’s the type of horse that loves people and enjoys attention, making her a real yard favourite.
She is excellent to catch (comes to call), good to load and travel, good for the farrier, vet and dentist, and is equally happy living in or out. She can be stabled or turned out on her own without becoming stressed and is straightforward to manage in every way.
🐎 Education
Her education has been taken slowly and correctly, with plenty of groundwork before progressing under saddle. She has completed lunging, in-hand work, pole work and a variety of foundation exercises to build strength, balance and confidence.
Under saddle she has mainly hacked, covering many miles through Longleat Forest both alone and in company. She is confident in traffic, enjoys exploring and has a genuine, willing attitude. Flora has also attended busy fun rides, where she behaved impeccably amongst large groups of horses and busy surroundings. She has happily swum through water and thoroughly enjoys it, taking everything in her stride with a calm and sensible outlook. New places and busy environments don’t faze her, and she continues to prove herself to be level-headed and easy to take out.
Her schooling is coming along nicely and is being produced correctly rather than rushed. She is learning to work into a consistent outline, use herself properly and become stronger through her body. She is still green in the school, making her an exciting prospect for someone wanting to continue producing a quality Thoroughbred.
⭐ Who Would She Suit?
Flora genuinely enjoys having a job and thrives on variety. She would be ideally suited to someone wanting to continue producing her for riding club activities, dressage, showing, low-level eventing, team chasing, hunting, fun rides or as a quality all-round horse. She has all the attributes to become a smart competition horse with someone who can continue her education.
