Lotus Biscoff is a 16h 9 year old, dun fully regisistered ISH mare with super breeding by the famous Tullyabeg Fusion who is a top eventing staliion. Shes a gorgeous girl whgo catches the eye where ever she goes with her golden colour. She is a lovely quality stamp with a nice depth of girth a nd substance to her body. She has good conformation, clean limbs, is blemish free and straight moving. Shes a very friendly girl who likes people however she is a sensitive soul under saddle and likes to form a one to one bond with her rider.

Lotus has three super smart paces and works nicely on the flat. She has real potential to excel at dressage with the right rider as she has a brilliant hind leg action. She is a forward going sensitive ride who likes to get to know her rider. She is sensitive to the leg and likes a very small leg aid, she also likes a balanced rider who has some feel. She definitely needs a confident experienced rider who can ride quietly and who is used to riding more sensitive horses. A wobbly nervous rider would worry her and course her to shoot forwards. When she knows and trusts her rider she gives you an amazing feel. She is currently ridden in a snaffle with a nice soft mouth. She is very good to mount- stands nicely at the block. She is also not at all spooky. She doesn’t buck or rear, if worried she will scoot forwards and for this reason needs a rider who knows what they are doing. I have been riding her for a couple of months now on behalf of her owner and I really enjoy riding her. So for the right rider she will be very rewarding to work with and go far. She has done some unaffiliated dressage with a previous owner who found her to be a good forward going ride.

She has jumped in a past home and showed scope and talent over a fence. She wasn’t at all spooky at fillers ect, she was very bold and forward going. She hasn’t done any jumping for a couple of years due to her owners choices. I also haven’t jumped her as I have taken her back a step to work on the basics of flatwork. She definitely has the breeding and the potential to show jump and event but is not ready to go straight out and do this as she will need to form a bond with her rider on the flat first in my opinion. I have a video of her jumping a full course for anyone who is interested to see.

Lotus is good to hack both alone and in company. She is very good in traffic including lorries and motor bikes. She is more relaxed out hacking than what she is in the school. She is nicely forward going and will literally pass anything. She has been used to give less experienced horses a lead past scary objects. She went straight past a scary fire in a calm manner. She has been on pleasure rides which she loves and is so much fun. She would be very well suited to someone wanting to do lots if hacking and perhaps le trec and endurance too as she would go all day.

Lotus has a kind friendly temperament. She loves people and will make someone an amazing best friend. She is a good to handle in all ways. She is good to shoe, clip and load. She lives in and out and is happily turns out with mares and geldings. She is very quiet in the field and gets on well with all horses and ponies. She currently turns out over night (weather permitting) on her own next to other horses and comes in during the day. She is very sound and healthy.

She will make someone a dream horse and form such a strong bond with her person. Finding the right person is very important to us. Strictly no nervous or novices riders. She is only offered for sale as she is too much for her current owner who is more of a happy hacker leisure rider. It’s a sad sale as her owner loves her on the ground and also enjoys hacking her but Lotus can shoot off with her in the school which has knocked both of their confidence. Lotus is doing well again in the school with me and is now ready to find her forever person as she really deserves this. Would also suit a natural horsemanship approach with lots of ground work. Priced at £7,950 to reflect that she is a semi project. She would be double this price if she was anyone’s ride. She would be ideal for an experienced rider who has the time to put into her but not a 5 figure budget to buy a horse of her calibre in a special colour. Based near Huntingdon Cambridgeshire.
