Berry has been with me for 18 months - she came as a slightly unfit, green, inexperienced horse, who started her ridden career late. During the past 18 months, we have:
Taken part in very regular riding school lessons / clinics / arena hires etc
Our yard is a riding school - Berry has had numerous lessons each week within the school, both group lessons and private lessons - her flat work has come on leaps and bounds - she now has a good understanding of lateral work. She is a leg in each corner type and an absolute confidence giver within the arenas - (my 11 year old nervous Nelly rides her!).
Berry has fantastic transitions with lovely, steady rhythmical paces and has never bucked, reared or bronked.
Regularly Jumped:
We have jumped both at home and away - Berry has become bold a clever towards and over a jump, she is comfortably jumping 60/70cm courses.
Hacking:
Our hacking facilities are not great, so although we have hacked it is not a regular thing - on the occasions that we have been out, Berry has been fantastic around heavy traffic, over pedestrian crossings etc and will go front or last.
I have taken Berry on XC hire on her own and she was great.
Beach Rides:
We regularly go to the beach - Berry loves to play with the water! She will canter steadily along the sand either in front or behind.
Pleasure Rides:
We have been to a few pleasure rides, where Berry has been brilliant - she definitely finds this environment exciting and is more 'on her toes' but nothing silly.
XC:
We have tried XC and honestly - my inexperience shows is this sphere!! Im not the most experienced rider, but I believe that with a stronger, more experienced rider, she would excel!!
HUNT:
We have also tried a hunt style meeting, and again, my inexperience let us down - Berry would absolutely love this type of work - given the chance, with someone who has the guts to do it! I would love to see her taking part!
On the ground Berry is brilliant, she has never bitten, is good to shoe and clip also fine for jabs and dentist etc
Berry will load and travel perfectly both on her own and with others, we have also been to camps where she behaved perfectly throughout the two days and overnight.
Berry will come with a full wardrobe;
Fitted brown leather GP saddle
Brown leather bridle
Fly Rug
Lightweight Rug
Medium Weight Rug
Under rug
Fitted jump saddle can be sold at additional cost.
Fully up to date with dentist and injections
Will live in or out
Doesnt need to be ridden everyday - always the same.
Very versatile
Berry is a quality stamp of a horse, a solid very well put together type who always gets compliments.
