Rosie is a 15.3/ 16h 13 year old registered Irish draught chestnut mare. She is incredibly well bred with classic vision and ginger dick directly In her pedigree. She is a super athletic modern stamp that resembles more of an Irish sport horse model but she still has a nice amount of bone without being heavy. She is a lovely rich golden colour that glistens in the sunlight beautifully.
She is not at all your typical chestnut mare, she is the sweetest mare we have ever met with such a kind honest temperament, she acts like a gelding as she is so easy going. She has excellent conformation, clean limbs and very straight movement. She is very eye catching with her lovely rich colour, kind eye, easy going temperament, perfect conformation, athletic stamp, and cracking ridability. She is a firm yard favourite; everyone who meets her just loves her.
She is a very fun safe alrounder who excels all disciplines and would make the perfect mother/ daughter share, riding club alrounder/ low level eventer/ show jumper/ dressage horse/ or quality pleasure horse. Horses like Rosie do not come along very often, she is the type very hard to find.
Rosie has 3 super paces which are very correct and well balanced. She is a very straight forward ride who really looks after her rider, she's not the spooky/sharp type. She is a lovely medium speed being nicely responsive to transitions. She is nice and easy to ride with super ridability, she would suit most riders as she is completely uncomplicated. She works in a relaxed natural outline and is always snaffle mouthed. She is nicely schooled on the flat up to elementary level at home with a lovely leg yield, shoulder in and medium trot. She and has done some unaffiliated dressage tests where she always receives very promising comments and good scores in the high 60's. She is more than ready to go out and affiliate at preliminary/novice level if her rider wishes. She finds her work very easy and she is very light footed on her feet with a real leg in each corner. She is lovely to work with as she always wants to please her rider.
Rosie loves her jumping and is very bold. She makes a super shape over a fence and is very careful, she rarely touches a pole. She nicely takes her rider into the fence in a calm manner, she will jump from trot or canter. She helps her rider out if presented to the fence on the wrong stride. She has jumped round 1m courses with loads of scope and potential to jump the bigger. She hasn’t been over jumped though as her previous owner used to mainly school and hack her. She would excel in a riding club home where she could do sj clinics and competitions.
Rosie loves cross country schooling. She isn't at all strong or silly to ride, in fact she is a real comfidence giving safe ride. She has jumped a range of fences from timbres, hedges, combinations, fans, water jumps, ditches etc proving to be bold.
She has a lovley ground covering stride and can go on a gear if required. She has all of the foundations to make a super low level eventer as she is very good at all 3 disciplines. She will give someone hours of fun in a safe manner.
Rosie is a brilliant hack, very safe and very enjoyable. She happily hacks out alone and in company. She is excellent in traffic, she has previously crossed a busy 'a' road roundabout and patiently waited until it is clear to cross. She isn't fazed by lorries passing her etc. She is great in open spaces and sensible to canter, she will go in any order but does prefer cantering in front, or if in behind likes to keep up. She has been on long 10 mile hacks and has previously done pleasure rides. She has also been to Holkham beach which she loved and was so much fun. She really is so chilled out and you can really relax on her and enjoy yourself. She loves her hacking very much and is a super safe confidence giving who is nicely forward going.
Rosie has hunted several times in Ireland as a youngster where she was very bold over all of the jumping and very easy to ride within the field.
Rosie has an exceptional quiet temperament, she is very quiet to handle and is very polite. She is a very kind and friendly girl who can safely be handled by everyone including children and non-horsey people. She is such an easy girl to have around, she is excellent in all ways to handle, and is regularly brought in from the field by children. She leads like a dog and isn't fazed by anything. She happily lives in or out alone or in company. She is such a lovely girl who is worth her weight in gold!
She has previously been owned by a mature lady who has now hung up her riding boots but Rosie was very easy for her to do everything with for 7 years. Prior to this I owned her, so lots of history known.
Rosie must go to a 10* home where he will be loved and enjoyed. She will make an excellent riding club alrounder or pleasure horse . She would also make a safe sensible dressage horse for a more nervous rider. This is a sad sale as I have a real soft spot for this girl.
