- Stunning 13hh Palomino Mare, 5yo
- Talented, Kind & Flashy Allrounder
Queenie is a truly special 13hh 5-year-old palomino mare with the looks, talent and temperament to match. We’ve owned her since she was freshly broken at 4, and in that time, she’s become an absolute star under my now 9-year-old daughter.
She’s beautifully put together with eye-catching presence and a kind, willing nature. Queenie schools nicely on the flat, works in a natural outline, and has a huge, scopey jump. She’s honest, careful and loves her jumping – she’s been out showjumping up to 70cm confidently (club & schools courses) and is schooling over 1m+ at home with ease. She’s also done XC schooling and competitions and would make a super WH or SJ pony for a competitive child.
Out hacking, Queenie is rock solid. Living on Exmoor, she’s tackled every kind of terrain – rivers, bogs, hills, open moorland – and is unfazed by traffic, farm machinery, dogs, bikes, chickens, or flappy kids! She’s often the go-to pony for nervous friends – happy to take beginners for a quiet ride or a pop around the school. She’s never strong or silly, goes in a snaffle, and is a real confidence-giver.
She’s done:
• Pony Club rallies & private lessons
• Fun rides
• Showjumping (up to 70cm), XC schooling & competitions
• Regular hacking over all terrain
• Been handled and ridden by novice children
To handle, she’s a sweetheart. First to the gate, easy to catch, groom, load (trailer or lorry), and perfect to take away from her field mates or stand alone in the trailer. She’s also happy stabled or turned out and has no quirks or vices.
Notable points:
• Currently shod due to stony terrain here, but has excellent feet and could go barefoot elsewhere.
• She’s not keen on clippers (work in progress).
• If out of work for a few weeks, she can be cheeky (a small kick out when asked to work in the school), but never naughty or dangerous – my daughter has never come off her.
Only for sale as my daughter has moved onto an experienced SJ schoolmaster and doesn’t have time to do Queenie justice. She’s ready to bring on a new rider and have tons of fun.
Queenie will soon be heading to Bobbie-Jo’s for viewing in a more accessible location (we’re in the middle of Exmoor – 1hr from the nearest motorway), but I’m happy to show her here before then if you’re willing to travel.
