Absolutely heartbreaking sale of this much loved mare, ‘Madonna II’, known as Maddie at home is my gorgeous 15.1/2hh fairly stocky build ID X Knabstrupper. She is 17 this year, but wasn’t broken in until she was 6 years old so has not been hammered from a young age.

She has done all pony club activities , including pony club camp. She absolutely loves her jumping and will take you to a fence, weather that’s cross country or showjumping. She is happy to jump hedges, ditches, water, you name it she will do it. showjumping she jumps all the fillers and coloured poles. Pops over 95cm (or bigger if cross country!). She has done arena eventing and hunter trials with success.

Maddies main love is hacking, it’s what she has done most of and she will lead or go behind, again she is forward going and enjoys having a canter but always has good breaks (always in a snaffle) and she goes off your voice for transitions up and down the paces. She’s fantastic in all types of traffic.

Maddie certainly won’t go out and win any dressage competition but she will give it a good go and can work in an outline in walk and trot. I’m not looking for someone is expecting her to be a dressage school mistress because she is not, she’s happy to do flat schooling but it’s not where her love lies.

On the ground she is delightful, loads and travels well, turns out with mares or geldings, comes to call from the field, easy to lead, tie up and loves a good groom. The only thing she’s not so sure about is the farrier but is fine with a handful of treats.

I’m looking for someone who wants to hack, do fun rides and enjoy some jumping, perhaps someone in the riding club who just wants a nice safe horse to have fun with. I would like to keep in touch with her as she is very special to me. I sold her in 2021 and after being in a hacking/fun ride home for 3 years she was sold to a riding school, however they found her too forward when jumping. I was given the opportunity to purchase her back, which I have done. However my life has changed due to having a baby and I just cannot give her the time she deserves.

Homes will be vetted.
