I have had Ivory since she was a yearling. She hasn’t been rushed or over done. She has spent most of her time in the field so that she could develop into the strong mare she is now.
I lightly lunged and long reined her in February this year. I sat up on her, walked and trotted her around the school. She had time away and I brought her back in July. She has not done masses of schoolwork. She has lovely balanced paces.
She is great on the road but hasn’t seen much heavy traffic.
She’s finding her feet over poles and I have loose jumped her over 60cm.
I threw Ivory in the deep end with her first outing. In-hand pally class at the local county show. She didn’t bat an eye lid at anything around her and was foot perfect. I took her in the trailer on my own and she was a pleasure to do.
She did get a little impatient when first arriving but having near heard a tannoy or any show-like sounds.
I then took her to a dressage competition, trailered her on my own, tacked up and straight into an indoor arena with other horses warming in. Again, neither of these are things that she has seen or experience; she warmed in like a pro and wasn’t spooky with the white boards or judge car.
She is my absolute world, if I had the time I wouldn’t even consider selling her. I know that she will be a winning machine in any discipline which her breeding backs up.
She is not fussed that I pick her up and put her down when I don’t have time. She can go weeks on end and she still has the same laid back character.
She’s great in open spaces. She’s amazing to travel and load.
She is up to date with shoes, teeth etc
Her only downfall is that she can be a little bit ignorant on the ground. But she is a big mare and I put this down to my lack of consistency with her.
Ivory struggles most with left canter as she tends to fall out through the right, but this is my own fault for lack of consistency and schoolwork.
She has got the best brain I’ve ever come across, ivory is trainable and a fast learner. She is ready to go into training ready for a winter / spring campaign
She is open to vetting.
