2015 (11 year old) 16hh British bred mare with incredible lines.
By Billy Congo out of a dam by Koongraaf that's produced multiple 150+ jumpers - having 2 full siblings at 160 level.
Ellie is a beautiful model and a really nice type. She's been with her current owner for 6 years now however they have clashed hence reason for sale.
She was double clear in the 110 & 115 2 weeks ago with myself. She's a very fun and whizzy mare - ideal bronze/silver league contender. she's previously competed upto 125 however more recently has been jumping 100/105's.
She's very good to deal with on the yard and day to day, she's very quiet and like an over grown dog!
Ellie is however very quirky to ride. She can buck/spin and play around if not worked consistently. She needs working everyday and wouldn't suit someone who would pick her up and put her down. Since being with me and in work everyday shew hasn't put a foot wrong but she is a forward and buzzy mare who knows what she likes!
She can be horse shy in the warm up and get tense however easily managed by just giving her time and not overtaking her.
Ellie can be funny to load on the 3.5t, but will eventually go on with someone behind her. She walks straight up the 26t. She does also require a hormone jab every 6 months.
She rides beautiful on the flat with auto changes and is impeccable to clip and hacks well alone and in company, she has also done a lot of XC schooling with her owner.
We believe that Ellie would really benefit someone who can give her a few months of easy rounds to get her confidence back up as she is lacking in that and just needs time to refresh her brain.
