⭐️ BISCUIT – STUNNING 14.2HH PALOMINO COLOURED COB ⭐️
6yo mare | Fabulous all-rounder | Mother/daughter share | Showing potential
This is a very difficult sale of our gorgeous **Biscuit**, a beautiful 14.2hh palomino coloured cob mare, 6 years old.
Biscuit was broken at four before having a foal and has since been brought back into consistent work. She is currently ridden around **five days a week** and has already had a lovely varied education including **hacking, cross-country, clinics and fun rides**.
She is fantastic in traffic and isn't bothered by tractors or farm machinery coming towards her. She's brilliant in open spaces and is sensible at either the front or back of a group, although given the choice she'd much rather tuck in behind and follow her friends!
She will hack alone, but does prefer company and currently benefits from a confident rider when out by herself.
In the school, Biscuit has three good paces and is coming along really nicely, although she is still green for her age due to having had a foal. She can occasionally have a little nap when she first goes into the school, but this is easily overcome and once she's working she is good as gold.
She has also been ridden by a 13-year-old rider with additional needs and has taken such good care of her. She seems to understand when she needs to look after her rider and has always been incredibly kind with her, which says so much about Biscuit's nature.
She has **no rearing or nastiness**. She can occasionally give a little "twerk" when she's asked to work harder 😂 but it's short-lived and easily ridden through. She's generally very sensible rather than spooky — a tractor coming towards her doesn't bother her in the slightest, although a bird suddenly flying out at her can make her jump!
Biscuit has started jumping and has been cross-country. She enjoys it but would benefit from someone continuing her education in this area.
🏆 A very exciting first show...
Biscuit recently attended her first ever show and absolutely exceeded all our expectations.
She won BOTH of her classes and then went on to be awarded Reserve Champion in the evening performance. ❤️
She took the whole atmosphere and experience incredibly well and we think she has plenty of potential for someone wanting to continue showing her, alongside being a fabulous all-rounder.
On the ground, Biscuit is a lovely, affectionate mare. She comes to call in the field and is good to lead, tie up, groom and bath. Children can happily groom and fuss over her, and she is good for the dentist and to clip. She is passported and microchipped.
We think Biscuit would make a fantastic **mother/daughter share, competent teenager, small adult or confident novice with support**. She'd be equally suited to someone wanting to hack, attend clinics, fun rides, riding club activities and showing, with the potential to do more jumping as her education progresses.
She is not being sold as a finished, push-button schoolmaster. She's a young mare who still has more to learn and will occasionally test the boundaries, but there is no nastiness in her. She is kind, genuine and has already experienced a lot for her age.
The right rider could have an enormous amount of fun with her.
❤️ Reason for sale
This is a genuinely difficult decision and absolutely no fault of Biscuit.
My own confidence isn't where it needs to be and I feel Biscuit now deserves someone who can give her more than I can. I don't want my lack of confidence to hold her back or be detrimental to her progress.
She has so much potential and deserves a home where someone can continue her education, get out and about and enjoy everything she has to offer.
