Very sad sale of super mare. Skye is a 17hh 12yr old ISH mare who has been there, seen it and got the T-Shirt.

Skye has successfully evented up to 2* BE and has won and been placed at numerous BE Novices accumulating 14 BE points. She has done BS up to 1m15 and has £112 winnings and also has competed BD up to BD novice gaining 12 points in 3 tests.

Skye has impeccable manners on the ground. She is perfect to catch, shoe, box, clip etc. She is happy to be in the field or the stable and is one of those horses that can be left on her own and she really doesn’t care!

Skye was sold to her current owner for a lot of money last year as a school mistress who hacked alone or in company. Unfortunately she can be a bit nappy to hack alone. She is an amateur rider and although she has taken her to do all riding club activities and had an amazing year, she really doesn’t want something that isn’t 100% to hack alone. I personally don’t have a massive issue with it. She’s one of those that sees something and tries to turn for home… but a quick sharp, no, we’re going this way… she does go! Ultimately she is a talented mare that has a brain! She will try it but she really is in no means bad with it, I take her alone all the time, it’s more annoying than anything! But in a sense you can’t just go for a quiet buckle ride… you do just need to have your wits about you. Or if you’re like me and don’t mind it, you can chill, just have to deal with her having a slight moment 

Skye came to me to get her going again as her owner knew deep down they weren’t the right combination, but knew if she didn’t let her go that she would keep persevering with the hacking as in every other aspect she is a saint!

She was advertised at the beginning of the year at a price a lot closer to what her owner paid for her than she is now, but a 5 stage vetting showed she wasn’t quite right, so she then underwent a full investigation and had her stifles injected. She has since undergone a full rehab programme and is now back in full work, fully fit and has had a full clearance from the vets to continue as before! (Full vet history available!)

She is now for sale at an absolute bargain price of 8.5k as she is before we really start her competing again. She has been out to various arena hires and won her arena at riding club SJ last week.

Her price will continue to rise the more work I do with her. I will be planning to enter a Cotswold cup with her (which will show her potential as a CC finalist or even a badminton grassroots finalist)

We’ve decided to advertise her now as we would rather her go to someone who will love her as much as we do and won’t expect her to just keep going bigger - we would rather someone who will really enjoy her at a lower level and be super competitive!

There really is no rush to sell. I adore her being here with me, but ultimately her owner does want to claim some money back from her. I would prefer what’s app messages but happy to deal with messages on here too. I anticipate to be inundated with messages so please don’t be offended if I take a while to reply.

She’s based currently with me near badminton. Please message me on 07889142088 - calls won’t be accepted in first instance so please send a message and if I think you’re suitable I will reply and then we can arrange a conversation over the phone ??
