Iris was brought from the prestigious monart sales as a 4 year old. She has successfully competed at novice eventing and clear intermediate XC. Her last event was in 2023 so she could now be downgraded and a very competitive grass roots horse .

Due to work commitments and knee surgery since 2024 she has turned to pure showjumping where she has proved careful and competitive at 110/ 120 level. She has got all her double clears at foxhunter for 2025 and 2026 and jumped triple clear in a silver league semi final qualifier 2025.

Iris is lovely to ride on the flat, training at medium level dressage and regularly competes at intermediate combined training. She has changes both ways and is very level and adjustable to fence . She is not strong and can be ridden in a snaffle in all three phases.

Iris is a lovely, polite horse to deal with. She is excellent to hack alone and in company. Very good to catch, shoe, clip and load .

Iris has always been ridden by an amateur , however she can be sensitive and requires a balanced jockey. She can also be horse shy in a warm up and around other horses but this is very manageable . For these reasons she would not be for a novice but would suit a competent teenager .

She does have a few small sarcoids under her belly which have never been an issue but are reflected in her price.

Iris has truly been a hose of a lifetime and will only be sold to a 5* home.
