I bought Holly whilst she was on sales livery with myself nearly two years ago as the right home didn’t come along at the time and she wasn’t going to be sold at bottom price simply due to a small quirk. She’s far too nice a horse for that inside and out!

Since then holly has hunted hounds, whipped in and been ridden in the field regularly by a variety of riders and then summer holidayed coming back into work easily with no issues. Snaffle mouthed. Holly is really fantastic on the ground, she’s a real people person! She loads beautifully into anything and travels well. Easy to get ready, wash, plait etc and clips without a head collar, even her face/ears and is fabulous for the farrier. She will stable and stands in on her own with no bother or happily live out with mares or geldings.

Currently in at night and out in a mixed herd in day. She’s a great hack, great in all traffic and will hack alone or in company. And rides and leads. Holly is a keen forward hunter, she’s great with hounds, will do gates and go anywhere in the field. She happily jumps; rails, ditches etc and will queue politely and cross rivers and bridges sensibly, nothing really fazes her! She is versatile and crosses proper hill country as well as lowland and has hunted with various Northumberland packs predominantly the College Valley North Northumberland.

Although Holly doesn’t need ridden everyday and is often not hunted for a couple of weeks, she loves being busy. Holly requires a confident rider, as she can throw an excited buck at the very beginning of the day (nothing afterwards), Holly does not buck with myself out hunting and definitely feeds off the way you ride her, I’m happy to discuss this further and this has been investigated and vet report happily available to show no issues, please dont be put off by this!! Up to date with teeth and physio.

Open to vetting. Holly really deserves a loving family hunting home where she will make someone a real partner! This sale is not taken lightly and home is hugely important!

Fit and currently hunting. Based Northumberland
