Vera has returned to us to find a new home after 6 happy years with her owner who brought her from us as a 4 year old . She is now looking to move on to new home to do low level RC, hacking and hunting.
Vera enjoys doing a bit of everything, she has been there and got the t shirt taking part in all riding club activities, unaff SJ to 70cm, arena eventing and has been well hunted with both the Surrey Union and Kent and Surrey bloodhounds. Vera has remained local to us throughout and has frequently come back for schooling and hunting when her owner has needed a break. Her owner is in her 80’s (!) but very game and is only looking to move her on as wants to jump bigger before she’s too old! Vera is happy in her comfort zone at 60/70cm and she will pop bigger timber out hunting or the odd bigger fence in the school but isn’t going to be a big hedge day horse! Although she will jump round a course quite happily and go to a show, she doesn’t really love it and she’s probably best suited to a home where she has real variety, sponsored rides, clinics, hunting etc. as she gets a bit fed up doing the same thing all the time.
Out hunting Vera is brilliant, stays where she’s put in the field and does her job well. She’s been well hunted by us and various local teenagers who have borrowed her and has been out with her owner. She’s has done fun rides, beach rides and a lot of happy hacking both alone and in company and is good in traffic. She can have the odd spook but nothing a confident enough novice rider can’t cope with ( she’s the type that likes someone confident who will tell her to get on with it, you don’t have to be brilliant!). She’s regularly ridden with us by middle aged rider returning to the saddle who lives hacking her out. Vera is nicely forward thinking out hacking and enjoys a good canter but is always happy to pull up.
We think she would suit someone either looking for a first horse or a low level PC / RC home. She’s never going to set the world on fire but is a lot of fun, she enjoys a clinic, would do low level dressage etc. She’s more like riding a big pony than a small horse.
Excellent to handle, box, catch, shoe, clip etc. she’s a cracking mare and we can’t quite believe she’s looking for a new home!
