Top class 16.1hh 9 year old skewbald mare by Royaldik
Cassie has competed in BD for the past 3 seasons starting at prelim and is now fully established and competing at Elementary level with great success with scores at 68% and has just started Medium level. She has qualifyed for Petplans each winter and summer at Prelim/Novice and elementary level. She qualified for the Petplan championships at Novice last year and won the Novice championship at the Scottish championships with 69%.
We represented Scotland on the BD inter nations team and travelled to Addington manor where she was in the high 60s and was an absolute dream.
She won the Intermediate BRC Novice qualifier and qualified for Arena uk and we came 10th in the final last year in a huge class!
Cassie got a wild card for the Novice Petplan finals last summer but sadly we couldn’t go due to very bad weather.
She has attended some BD stay away camps and been used for a few BD judges training days too as a demo horse.
Judges love her, she really does have the wow factor! She has a beautiful way of going, carrying herself in a lovely outline, always staying in a beautiful rhythm, her canter especially is exceptional with judges scoring her very well. She knows her trot and canter half passes, and walk pirouettes.
Cassie is incredibly straight forward to ride, she’s not sharp , she’s very trainable, and always gives you her best. She was bought as a 5 year old for my daughter to produce for BE young riders, she successfully evented her as a 6 year old for one season at BE 90 jumping clear at all 4 events they did including Belsay and Floors Castle. She then sadly decided to give up riding competitively, after her advanced horse was sold, however has continued to ride and jump Cassie at home the past few years. She is incredibly genuine and straight forward to a fence and never looks at a thing!
I took over the ride and came back to competing after over 10 years away from it after loosing my nerve. I have done all the flatwork training with her myself, with the help of some excellent trainers and we have learned together starting at prelim and now working at medium level , it’s been an incredibly rewarding and exciting journey and I’ve achieved more than I could have imagined with her. Cassie has been a horse of a lifetime and this is an incredibly sad sale.
Cassie is an incredibly special horse, she has the sweetest, kindest temperament you’ll find in a mare. She’s good to shoe, box, catch and you can clip her with no headcoller. She has no vices, has had no lameness issues and has no medical history. She’s up to date with all vaccinations/ shoes/ teeth/physio. Having been bought through a contact straight from her breeder her full history is known, her Dam is very well known in Scotland as she was a very well known event horse, her sire is now producing some top dressage and sport horses, she has an excellent pedigree. She lives on a very busy livery/ competition yard so is used to farm machinery and busy farm life.
Cassie would suit a competitive junior/ young rider or a competent amateur to go up the levels or equally take someone from the start up the levels. She would be very competitive in the BD combined training competitions. She adores the dressage and has all the talent and train ability to go up the levels.
She means the world to our family so will only go to the very best of homes.
She is only for sale as we are wanting to go back into showing and plan on buying a native pony to share.
I have made a video with clips of her doing bits of everything but there’s full tests of her on my You tube channel Rachel Fleming 1803
I work evenings so please call either during the day or Whatts app me and I can call you back.
