A change in circumstances forces sale of this lovely mare. Her owner due to health issues is having to stop riding and doesn't feel it fair to not allow Rath to go and be loved and have fun with someone new.
Having been in the same home for the past 8 years she has been greatly enjoyed and has done a bit of everything. Her full history is known before her current owner bought her as she was bought locally. Before this she was hunted in Ireland before coming over to the UK.
From sponsored rides, beach trips, cross country and arena hires; she's truly done a little bit of everything. Absolute dream to hack and loves a long Sunday hack to the pub! Goes in front or behind, very good in traffic, goes past anything or will wait and let things pass.
Although she has only done fun stuff (not much competing) she very much has the presence to do very well in Showing/WH classes. She has real presence and could be winner in the showring.
Rath happily pops anything, and her current owner has jumped her up to 90cm/1m.
She has been with me for 8 weeks now to be got ready to be sold, and has been brought back into work slowly (she was a little rotund after having a long holiday before the difficult decision to sell her has been made). We have made much progress and she is now out hacking at weekends and schooling 2 - 3 days a week, she's lovely to have on the yard and enjoys her work.
She has started schooling really nicely and more is being asked of her everyday. We can even manage a beautiful half pass both ways, so dressage might well be another string to her bow.. She has good movement and 3 nice paces, works beautifully in an outline and is soft in the hand so may well excel at BD.
Rath could suit a multitude of disciplines, she truly loves being around people and is the first to neigh at me when i come up to the yard. A really lovely pony that is also quite a good weight carrier.
No vices,
Loads and travels well.
Good for the farrier, good to catch, good to groom/tack up etc. Very easy all round.
All up to date with vaccines/worming/teeth.
Can be dominant over food with other horses (is not with people at all) but only typical ears back 'mare', nothing truly nasty and i've not had a worry about her being on my yard and out with others around food etc.
