Dolce was bred with top level Eventing in mind.

By Leprince Des Bois and out of a Event bred Mare with Filice De Champiex and Voltaire lines (mare line: https://www.horsetelex.com/horses/family/2098755)

Dolce is 74% TB Blood

She is currently standing just over 17hh and is well covered as a 4yo ready to start her bitting and long reining process ready for welcoming a rider on her back soon. She has a full brother being produced for Jumping and as stallion potential, who has the same biddable temperament as Dolce and was super intelligent and fantastic to start under saddle.

>Born and raised onsite.
> Well handled from birth
>Up to date with all and unspoilt.
>She has never been daft with her responses to new situations just a typical baby looking and thinking through whats being asked before responding
> socialised with a variety of stock but kept in same sex turnout
>lived in when paddocks have been horrendous but predominantly lived out (and in a rug if ever necessary)

She really just needs to fall into serious hands who can give her the consistent daily education as she has so much to give in the right empathetic and considerate owner.


Points of consideration for those interested:
> she is a big youngster, and although kind to the point where she'd spend all day licking you, people who don't appreciate youngsters and the consistency in education nor the time investment it takes to develop them into confident bold ridden individuals without breaking their spirit, need not apply.

> 17.1hh and 6'6 rugs right now- she hasn't travelled yet so a welcoming mode of transport e.g. 3.5t horse box and maybe a bit of extra time will be needed to load.

ONLY BEHAVIOURAL NOTE:- She had mud fever end of last year where she was so pained for the farrier, vet treatment in the way of steroid cream and clipping white socks back was required when off the shelf topical treatments failed. Mid way through treating the Farrier requested her to be sedated until healed so she didn't associate him with her discomfort as she was snatching her legs and naturally discomforted by the situation. She is fully healed but has a level of trust issue with having her legs held for farrier work, she's on a 7 week cycle, some times she stands like a trooper but she can still fidget away from the farrier and snatch her legs through pain memory. The new owner would have to anticipate that she may regress and fidget more upon moving due to everything being new (or the hope is she gets over it all straight away due to different environment and people she doesn't associate the mud fever situation to) however if she does regress, a level of sedation may be required to assist her staying calm initially and training her to accept the process again so she doesn't wrongly associate the process. This aspect of her is also reflected in the price she is up for but hopefully someone can see past the initial potential 'inconvenience' and support her like we have here to get her as close to mentally healed as possible.

There is so much love for this mare, she was originally to be backed, developed, competed and then produce next generation in due time. An incredibly upsetting sale but basic stable care is now a daily challenge so she is being sold from field as can't be started under current ownership.
