LOVELY DRESSAGE/ALL ROUNDER PROSPECT

• ISH / WB
• Bay
• Mare

• Solid, sturdy & athletic
• Fantastic genuine temperment
• Seen lots but ready to be produced further

Known as Rue on the yard, this lovely homebred mare is a genuine and straightforward type with an excellent temperament. She carries proven breeding by the Oldenburg stallion Casanova VI, who evented to 3* and showjumped to 1.40m before injury, and out of Lady Gaga (by Telstar), a mare with strong dressage influence and quality bloodlines.

Rue was broken in last year and was only broken in late due to the illness of her owner, through no fault of her own. As a result, she is still low mileage and IS GREEN, but has been carefully and sympathetically produced and is proving to be extremely trainable. She has three uphill paces and a natural jump. Having schooled cross-country, she has confidently jumped ditches, steps and water on her first attempts. She has also seen a variety of show jumps, fillers and spreads, and is confident into fences.

She has already been out to unaffiliated dressage and has recently completed her first showjumping competition with a 14-year-old rider, taking everything in her stride. She has also taken novice riders hacking across the forest and heath, happily leads or goes alone & in company, and has proved sensible in all environments. She has not bucked, reared or spun, and isnt sharp, making her an excellent candidate as a mother& daughter share.

On the ground, Rue is a delight to handle in every way. She is easy to shoe, box, travel, and tie, and is polite and uncomplicated to have on the yard.

This much-loved mare is still green only because of her later start, but she is willing, genuine, and ready for someone to put their own stamp on. Please bare this in mind- she is not a finished product or a schoolmaster, but a lovely, vice & injury/ailment-free, well-bred mare.

With her temperament, paces and scope, she would excel as an all-rounder and provide her new owner with endless enjoyment, but we equally feel she would absolutely thrive as a dressage horse with her paces and breeding.
