Van De Bijoux is a brave, bold blood mare by the proven stallion Van de Vivaldi, a Gold British Showjumping Elite Stallion who competed successfully at international level and is known for producing talented, careful, athletic offspring with excellent temperaments.

She has previously jumped up to 1.20m in former homes and has shown herself to be genuine, willing, and straightforward in her work. A forward-thinking mare with plenty of presence, she is the type that catches the eye and gives her rider a really enjoyable feel. Owners would like a 5* home, she has previously lived out 24/7 but is also as happy stabled

BB is a buzzy mare who can be a little fizzy at times, but never in a nasty way. She has never bucked, bronced, or bolted. She is forward-going, loves having a job to do, and is a fun, rewarding ride for someone who enjoys a horse with energy and enthusiasm.

She would be perfect for someone stepping up from ponies onto horses and would best suit a confident, competent young rider who wants to go out, be competitive, and enjoy success. She has all the ingredients to make a brilliant partner for the right person and would happily go and win classes with someone who clicks with her.

On the ground she is easy to handle and can be managed by anybody. She is a lovely person inside and out, kind-natured, affectionate, and always wants to please, she is genuine and thrives with a rider who builds a partnership with her.

Bought by her current owner last summer, she is now sadly available due to lack of time, with her teenage rider juggling three horses alongside a move away from the family farm and no longer having the space for her.

Since joining my yard at the end of March, she has settled in beautifully and has taken everything in her stride. She has enjoyed XC training, training shows, and arena hires, proving sensible, adaptable, and fun in a variety of environments. She travels well, takes new places in her stride, and has shown a lovely attitude wherever she goes.

Perfect to shoe, clip, and load.

She is getting fit and ready to go out and enjoy this summer. A really exciting mare with plenty to offer, BB is ready to find her next person and continue having fun in a loving home!
