- Daphne is a super mare and would certainly flourish one to one as she adores human company.
- Comes to call even when in a herd.
- We have backed her and started being ridden away but have a serious lack of time to do her justice.

Daphne needs an experienced owner as besides being green she is forward thinking and eager to learn.
She is fully passported, wormed to date, vaccinated and teeth have been done .
She is shod in front just to help with the road work, which she has not had a lot of as we have no time , but saying that she has had small hacks in company and is great with the traffic on our country lanes.
Good enough to produce for next year under saddle.
No vices in or out of the stable and respects electric fencing.
Do call for a chat as I will not waste your time if I don’t think you will suit each other
