Lily is an mature mare with plenty still to offer. She is a sweet, genuine horse who has previously been a broodmare and has been coming back into work over the last year. She is a beautiful, well-put-together 15.1hh mare. She is been ridden by two competent 17-year-olds and has shown potential in everything she done. She's good with traffic and large farm machinery.
She also has good manners on the ground, enjoys her groundwork, she loads, stands quietly for the farrier, and is regularly handled and ridden on a busy working farm. She will happily come in from the field on her own, and can be ridden in the school or out hacking, sometimes she may plant at certain points when leaving her field mates, but this is manageable and does not detract from her overall willingness.
On the flat, she produces a lovely, natural shape with a soft snaffle mouth and three balanced paces. She is showing real promise in her schooling, with a naturally rhythmical way of going and a good attitude. Her movement is correct and attractive, and she will only improve further with continued work and strength-building. She enjoys jumping, always try's her best, however sometimes needs an extra squeeze for reassurance, she is not strong to a fence, with a snaffled mouth.
She will live in or out. She has had two foals in the past and was ridden before breeding, since she has been bought back into work she has made good progress. She currently lives out 24/7 in a mixed herd of geldings and mares. She likes her personal space and will politely tell other horses to move if needed, but settles well within a herd environment.
Lily would suit a experienced and capable teen or adult rider, looking to enjoy continuing to bringing her on and developing her potential, as she is a intelligent mare and can take advantage of a rider who lacks knowledge or confidence with the occasional nap. She is good to handle, good with dogs, used to livestock, having lived with sheep and seen cows and pigs. Confident and calm when travelling on a lorry, having attended a local show with other horses, and good with farrier, dentist & vet.
