** For Sale ** - Belle, 10yo beautiful dun, Irish registered Connemara mare.
100% groom, bath, trailer, shoe, clip, travel, teeth, hack, school, with no vices.
Belle is a lovely, easy horse to handle. She is regularly handled alone by one lady owner for everything and is now looking for her next best friend.
She schools beautifully including some basic lateral moves (walk to canter, leg yield etc.) However, she does not enjoy being drilled in the school, and is more woah than go.
She enjoys a varied life including jumping, hacking (far and wide), horse back archery, ground work, in hand classical dressage, beach rides. You name it and she will have a go for you.
She loves jumping but will happily stay in a rhythm and jump a course of 60cm with scope to go to 80/90cm. She has seen fillers without issue.
She has regularly schooled cross country, including the farm ride (water, ditches etc) which she enjoys.
She loves the beach, drag hunting and fun rides, and while she picks it up a gear for group events she is impeccably behaved. Always snaffle mouthed and looks after her rider, normally happy to go first or last and has never bucked or reared.
She will happily live in or out, but has always had daily turnout if stabled.
Belles full history is known, she came over from Ireland as a 2 year old and has been allowed to grow, sympathetically backed and slowly ridden on, with no time or expense spared on her upbringing.
I do not compete regularly, but she has attended local shows and I feel she would happily compete or do pony club sessions. She would also potentially measure in for classes.
She will hack alone or in company, 100% in heavy traffic (trains, wagons, tractors) and has been used as a nanny horse for others.
Belle had a stifle arthroscopy when she was 5 following a field accident, no medical issue was diagnosed, but as a result she has a steroid injection in her SI / stifles every 12 - 18 months and is completely sound carrying an adult rider at the above level of regular work. I am happy to discuss this further at viewings and disclose vet records.
She has no lumps or bumps, moves well and is up to date with everything, inc jabs and teeth. She would be a perfect second pony, light weight lady allrounder or mother daughter share. Anybody looking for a beautiful, well turned out, but safe best friend would be her perfect partner.
She comes with a full wardrobe which includes numerous rugs and a professionally fitted bit & bridle.
She is advertised at a reduced price for her quality and experience, only due to her ongoing maintenance.
A nice home is paramount for this mare, she is much loved and will be missed.
Genuine reason for sale, viewings and vetting’s welcome. Numerous videos available on request.
