I am unexpectedly and with a heavy heart looking for an event horse as my brilliant little mare (pictured) suffered an injury at the end of last season and who sadly, even after careful and slow rehab, will not be able to compete again. She was my ultimate partner to reach my goal of getting to the Badminton Grassroots Champs and we were so close to achieving this last year. She has set the bar pretty high!
I am an light, adult rider and competent at my level but definitely don't want to "go up the grades". I have lots of lessons and give my horse a varied and interesting life. I need a horse that has at least one season behind it with good results either BE or UA 90 and 100. I am not interested in anything that has only been XC schooling no matter how good they seem! A more experienced horse with points can be downgraded if the points were gained two or more years ago so that is a possibility. Something with naturally good paces and movement please but the dressage can be a work in progress. In show jumping the odd pole is fine but no refusals. A strong XC record is a must. A horse that loves this phase is important to me.
I have stables at home and more often than not I ride by alone so it needs to be happy to hack without company. As I do the horses myself one that is good to catch and easy to load onto a 7.5 ton horse lorry is a must. It needs to be happy to stay away, easy to do at competitions, relaxed on a quiet yard of two and not need a busy home environment. No bucking, rearing or napping!
In return I can promise the right horse a 5* home with year round turn out (in at night during the winter. In during the day in the summer), heat lamps and hot shower for winter washing, regular physio sessions, varied life and very pampered and loved.
I know I am asking a lot but this is what I had in my mare. She was a that perfect combination of easy to do but was also incredibly competitive with many top five results. I really want to find the same type where I can get out and about and have fun and be successful with a horse that enjoys it all as much as I do!
Please message/whatsapp with description and videos and I will get back to you.
Thank you so much.
