**EDIT**
Candy was vetted 10/06 and unfortunately was found to have a cataract in her left eye. Fortunately the vet left checking eyes till the end so she passed all the other aspects of the vetting - trot up, hard circle, flexions, soft circle & ridden. The vet was extremely pleased with her and could find no other cause for concern for her ability to do a job. Unfortunately candy only has an Irish vetting so there is no way of telling if said cataract is congenital or from a blow to the head and therefore is no previous examination to say whether it has got worse over time or stayed the same and therefore cannot give a prediction for the future. She still has vision in her eye and does not affect her ridden work at all. The vet was happy for her to ‘pass’ the vetting as it were however the potential purchaser has decided not for them. We have reduced Candys price to reflect this finding, she was originally sold at 13.5k and so if she sounds like a horse for you please get in touch, we are open to sensible offers around her new price to find her new home.
Knightsbridge Lilly aka Candy, beautiful 15.1 6yo Connemara mare by Dunally lad out of a Castleside Carrig dam.
Candy is a cracking little horse who has been enjoying a varied lifestyle going out and about for group hacks, arena hires, cross country, hunting, dressage shows & showjumping in her current home of 1.5 years.
Out XC she has jumped banks, hedges, owl holes, ditches, steps & is happy going in the water. She absolutely loves going hunting & has done 5 puppy hunts last year. Always impeccably behaved and happy to wait between runs. She does get enthusiastic at times and keen to go but always ridden in a snaffle.
Candy has good basic flatwork and has the beginnings of lateral work, competing at prelim level shows with good comments from the judges with lots to like. She hasn’t done loads in the school as her current owner much prefers going for a hack, alone & in company. She often boxes up to new places and will happily lead the hack, but equally go behind & loves a good gallop!
Candy is great to handle, travels really well in the trailer but has also been on a 3.5t & 15ton. She is great to clip, turnout, catch, bath & shoe. She is happy living in or out.
Candy is up to date on vaccines, worming, dentist and physio. No vices.
Candy is seen on sales livery in lingfield, Surrey. Incredibly tough sale due to riders knee surgery, Candy would suit a teenager/young adult in a PC/RC home who wants to have lots of fun as well as further her education as she is still young. She’s more of a woah than go ride but not for a nervous novice as she’s not a plod ride. Don’t be put off if you’re tall, owner is 5’8 & Tristan in videos is 6’3.
Lots of pictures and videos available.
Made to measure saddle available at separate negotiation, plus bridle and rugs and boots.
