Ruby - 15hh Fleabitten Grey Connemara X (KWPN TB) mare with beautiful freckles and eyelashes to die for!
Please note, with respect I am looking for an adult rider for her.
*Extensive video attached*
Not the mareish type. 11 years old. (Low mileage).
Great to load, catch, shoe and clip. Great to handle in general, very mannerly on the ground.
Great with cyclists flying past, aggressive dogs and livestock.
Ruby’s a really friendly girl. Will live in or out, but prefers out and is a good doer.
Ridden… she’s willing, safe and responsive off the leg. She’s so much fun. Has done a little bit of everything, hunted when younger, SJ, hunter trials, dressage, ODE and fun rides.
Rubes has low mileage.. was competed for a year with previous owner, a few summers with me, and since then I’ve just been hacking her. She’d happily get out and about again.
Clean legs and dare I say it .. always s o u n d.
She’s very well behaved out hacking but can be a little jumpy on her own.. probably best to describe her as suspicious!
Will walk in an open field on the buckle before or after a gallop and will always come back to you in a snaffle (convinced she could easily go bitless).
I’ve competed her at riding club level.. 70/80cm XC/ XC schooling, 70-80cm SJ and riding club dressage.
She has a great jump on her and can go higher but I’m happy just sticking to that height.
Would do a lovely Dressage test but it’s not my thing.
I’ve not wanted to compete for two years but I’d still take her to a show tomorrow, do a practice fence and expect her to do a clear round.
She just gets on with it. Doesn’t take offence if you get something wrong and isn’t a sensitive horse at all.. like riding a gelding.
Though she would NEVER buck, rear, spin, bolt or nap, she does feel unsure at times out hacking solo and takes confidence from her rider (just needs a scratch on the neck and a squeeze) so for that reason I’d prefer her to go to someone who is confident hacking.
I feel she would be most happy in a home with an adult who likes to do a bit of everything, maybe riding club events, fun rides etc but would also happily just hack and be a best friend.
She has the talent for most activities and has the speed in her, but although she does light up when she sees a fence, she isn’t the kind of horse to drag you round a XC course.
She’s a quite a chilled girl, which I adore about her. She’ll be the one behaving like an Angel in the warm up regardless of what’s going on around her.
Open to any vetting.
For sale through absolutely no fault of her own and will be massively missed but she has so much to give someone.
Extremely special little horse that I would never be selling for any reason other than giving up riding.
Sale includes full wardrobe.
