Nervous of farrier but i have her trimmed every 6 weeks she just needs patience bare foot with really good hooves.

Had the dentist last month she was very well behaved no sedation required no further treatment required just light rasp.

Travelled twice by same haulier for me 1 short haul 1 long haul behaved well on her own both times needed a lead to load but walked on fine.

Bad points.

Nappy wont go forwards on a hack goes backwards turns for home..

I was sold this mare as suitable as a family ride for any member of the family from a very reputeable seller .

When i tried her she was calm and willing though quite green. Sadly i only rode her in the school big Mistake i realise now. Hindsight is marvelous.

Initially i boarded her at a riding school and she was good in the school again green but willing left field mates to ride alone in the school no issues we hadnt hacked out at that point it was winter weather was harsh and the school seemed perfect. I had no worries.

Then I moved and we are living very rural on my own land which should have been perfect.

Only i found she wont hack out alone or in company some days shes better than others but we never get far out the drive. I can ride her on the drive up down back and forth but she wont leave home i never get far before the napping starts and we end up just going back and forth on the same stretch of road and ive now no school to keep her working.

Give her time i was advised so i have a year of it ..walking out in hand and long reining shes perfectly happy follows or leads just fine put a saddle on and nope not going away. Saddle fits had all tack checked had her back checked no issues found

The more i try and fail the more she thinks she can get away with this.

Im 70 disabled and over horsed i need to find her an experiened home where she will be ridden on theres no malice in her just sheer stubborness.

I paid 6k for her last sept. Im not going to realise that now and im preared to drop to 4.5k to find her a good home shes too young and inexperienced for me and my granddaughter shes a lovely big cob who deserves a job.

Has a small possible sarcoid behind girth doesnt interfere with girth or boot vet unconcerned about it and it hasnt changed in the year ive had her hes reluctant to interfere with it.

We are located in Benbecula Western Isles so its a ferry journey from Skye. Mallaig or Oban I know this sounds off putting but honestly its a fabulous trip and shes worth seeing these big cobs go for way more than im asking for i just need a nice home for her. Im being as open and honest as i can as i dont want anyone else to be miss sold and the mare get passed on again and again. Any quedtions please do contact me.
