Registered BAPSH PRE Fusion - BUTTERCRAMBE SEPHORA (MILL ESPLENDIDO x FFYNNONBACH ELLIE AUR)
6 years, greying buckskin, around 14.3hh.
We have owned Sephora since she was a year old and have produced her slowly.
Her grandsire is Macetero IX, a pure PRE Carthusian stallion of the Bocado line. Her sire is Mill Esplendido (15.2hh) bred at Millpark Andalusians here in the UK and her dam Ffynnonbach Ellie Aur (14.2hh) is owned by Sephora’s breeder.
True to her breed Sephora is a quick learner and has such a sweet and curious personality. She adores human contact, lots of fuss and loves nothing more than a good bum scratch!!
She is good to be shoe, walks onto a trailer or box with a little encouragement and travels brilliantly (alone or with another horse) and is up to date with vaccinations, dentist (had her only wolf tooth out) and worming.
Has mostly wintered out since being with us and is very easy to catch however for the last year has been stabled alone or next to others. She has had two periods of box rest (4 weeks each, I’ll explain later) and was perfectly behaved, she never stressed or developed any bad behaviours. She’s had a slow and quiet start to life so hasn’t developed any bad habits or fears and with reassurance has always taken things in her stride. She really is an uncomplicated horse and such a sweetheart.
Unfortunately she hasn’t made the height for my daughter so was advertised for sale last year. A 2 stage vetting revealed she had bilateral hind limb suspensory desmitis and kissing spine, likely something she was born with. She never showed any signs of pain so we were completely taken aback.
Sephora underwent surgery at the end of last year (Hambleton’s for her hind limbs and Ridings Vets for her back) and has followed a comprehensive and thorough rehab programme under her vet’s and her physio’s close eyes. Sephora has progressed perfectly since surgery, has never had any setbacks and is now ready to take someone on a fun journey. Her vet sees no reason why she shouldn’t pass a 5 stage vetting.
She was broken in by Adams Yates at AY Horsemanship last year (more Western style) and has been working well in walk and trot and hacking out alone and in company. She hasn’t done much schooling as we didn’t have the opportunity prior to surgery however she seems to be taking to it well. This is something we are working on now.
She is used to farm machinery, dogs etc and doesn’t seem phased by traffic. She has quite an inquisitive nature.
Sephora is so sweet and curious and really has a heart of gold. I’d love her to go to a home that isn’t just about bringing her on and selling her, more one that wants to get the best out of her and have fun with her.
She’s had her saddle checked recently.
Due to her age and the stage of her education I would say Sephora is still green and not suitable for a novice. She still takes reassurance from her rider.
Tack included, new within the last year.
Open to any vetting and open to offers to the right home.
More photos and videos available. Sheffield based.
ps. Some photos show her in a western saddle. She was broken in western style. This will not be the saddle she comes with.
