Reluctant sale of a much-loved mare.
If circumstances were different, this pony would never be leaving us. She was bought for my daughter, but I unintentionally over-horsed her. After three years, it’s clear she needs a more suitable rider who can give her the consistency, confidence and direction she thrives on. She is currently being wasted in the field and deserves a home that can bring out her best.
There is a lot to like about her. She travels well, hacks sensibly, and has always been reliable in traffic. She stands politely for the farrier and vet. She enjoys hacking in open fields, lanes and the forest, and she has previously jumped  videos available.
This advert aims to give a fair and transparent overview. She is best suited to a competent teenager or small adult who rides confidently and sympathetically. She can be seasonally “hot” and will test a rider she doesn’t respect. She is not a schoolmistress. She can also, on occasion, unseat a rider if she feels she can take advantage  this is not malicious, but it is part of why she needs a capable, balanced rider who can ride her forward and through her moments. In the right hands she offers a powerful, forward, rewarding ride.
She originally came from a showing home. During her time with us she has had some veterinary issues which have been fully investigated and treated; full history is available from Hirds. Some maintenance may be required. She has been out of consistent work over winter due to my daughter’s injury, so she is currently hacking and in light work only. She is therefore a project for someone confident, kind and firm who can re-establish boundaries and schooling. Her quirks are reflected in her price.
Price includes tack and rugs. A suitable home is essential.
She thrives in a quieter yard or smallholding, winters out well, and prefers living out year-round. She holds weight easily, so her diet needs managing.
Happy to answer any questions and will only let her go to the right home.
