Elphaba aka Elphie is looking for her new home!
4-year-old, Dark Bay, British Sport Horse Mare ~15.3hh
Sire: Party Trick (CCI4* with Nick Gauntlett)
Grandsire: Chilli Morning (Only ever stallion to win Badminton with William Fox-Pitt!)
Dam: Miss Elodie - many results in the show ring!
Full sister (5 yo) - currently ridden by Nick Gauntlett’s 12-year-old son. Recently appeared in the 'Party Horses Club' display at Badminton!
ElphiE is easy to handle and well mannered. Elphie LOVES her work - a quick learner and very trainable attitude.
With the most fantastic walk, Elphie hacks on roads, out on the open hill, alone or in company. She has seen lorries, coaches, cars, motorbikes, cyclists, a train, dogs, chickens, deer, children... she does look twice at clouds on the ground (sheep!). Not fazed by traffic or indeed, a pipe band!
Elphie has hacked to the pub in the company of horses & bikesn has had a young girl on her and she stands well. Elphie has also ridden and led another horse on the roads.
Elphie has done flatwork lessons, a two-day clinic (flatwork, showjumping and cross country) and a handful of arena hires and off-site adventures!
Elphie canters in open spaces - and I trust her even with my 70 year old mum!
Elphie is bold and has a natural ability over fences with plenty of scope.
Elphie is barefoot & good for farrier. She is fully vaccinated & good for the vet.
She has been absolute pleasure to start and I will be delighted to see someone go and have a lifetime of learning, fun and achievements with her!
