15.3hh Bay Mare and Experienced All-Round Schoolmistress
Misty is a 17-year-old bay mare who has been a reliable and much-loved partner for our daughter. While she is 17, she is fit, sound, and full of enthusiasm for her work, with a youthful attitude and plenty still to give. She feels and rides far younger than her years and has been carefully and sensibly produced.
We purchased Misty as our daughters first horse when she was 15, and she has been an incredibly kind, safe and confidence-giving partner. She is only for sale through no fault of her own, as our daughter has now moved on to producing an inexperienced horse.
Misty is a genuine all-rounder with a willing attitude and a wealth of experience. She is happiest competing at 80&90cm and regularly jumps up to 1m at home. She is exceptionally bold cross-country and has been placed at Tweseldown BE. On the flat, she works well with good, correct paces.
While Misty is extremely kind, genuine, and safe, she is also quite forward and naturally quick, particularly when jumping and cross-country. For this reason, she would not be suitable for a nervous or totally inexperienced rider, but would be ideal for a confident teen, amateur, or small adult who enjoys a responsive, enthusiastic ride.
She has attended Pony Club camp, participated in numerous rallies, and more recently has been based at Hartpury college, where she adapted well to a structured routine and living in. At home, she lives out and is equally settled with a more relaxed routine. Misty hacks alone with a confident rider or in company and is happy living either individually or within a group.
Misty has seen the hounds and attended our local hunt meets, she was excited but safe. She loves to follow so enjoyed riding in a group.
She is well mannered, affectionate, and straightforward to handle. She has never been sick or injured and has been well cared for throughout her life.
Misty would suit a rider looking to enjoy Pony Club, Riding Club, low-level eventing, or general all-round work. She genuinely enjoys her job and makes an ideal schoolmistress for someone wanting a safe, experienced and versatile horse.
Her only vice is that she is nervous of clippers, though she is manageable with sedation.
Misty is a cherished mare who will be greatly missed. A knowledgeable, five-star home is essential.
