Very pretty rising 9 mare, she is sweet on the ground and will stand to be bathed, clipped, plaited all day. She is turned out with mare and geldings, is happy to stay in on her own when needed. Teeth checked every 6mths, saddle checked every 4-6mths, feet done every 7-8 weeks (she is barefoot, has had shoes before) and up to date with vaccs.
She has mainly been to low level dressage and show jumping competitions, clinics and farm rides. Absolutely love jumping this mare she is honest and if she's unsure you will know about it strides out from the jump (no dirty stops) has jumped up to 80cm but not regularly.
She is used to busy warm ups. Been at the same home for the past 4yrs. This horse would suit a confident and knowledgeable rider, she is very green in her schooling still and needs someone who can help bring her on. She is the hacking queen on her own or with one other horse. She has been hacked in a group and done well, but can get anxious sometimes and wanting to be at the front. She would not be suitable for someone wanting to hunt or go out straight away cantering round fields in a group.
Honest bits:
This mare was diagnosed with kissing spine and underwent surgery June 2023. Since then has been going well and vets are really pleased with her progress. This is the reason schooling as been stunted as a lot of stop/starting with diagnosis.
Has a sarcoid on her chest, it doesn't bother her so has been left. She is also on antihistamines throughout summer as can show signs of very mild sweet itch - but easily managed with fly rugs.
This mare, is a typical mare and the rider cannot bully her into something, therefore you must be good at communicating and understand her way of thinking to get the best from her. She is quite a tense horse when ridden in the school and if ridden too harshly will buck. However when she relaxes she's got lovely paces and a pleasure to ride.
Unfortunately rider and horse don't click and looking for the best of homes for her. No expense has been spared for her care. No dealers.
