Offered on behalf of her owner. Dakota is a 16.2h 10 year old black kwpn mare. She is superbly bred by Swarovski (Sandro Hit) out of Wasim (Donnerhall/ Weltmeyer). So 5 generations of dressage pedigree. She is a stunning girl who is full of quality and a real black beauty. She is a super athletic stamp who really catches the eye as she is very correct. She has excellent conformation, straight movement and clean limbs. She is a much sought after type as she is a very straight forward ride who makes her rider look good and feel safe. It is very had to find a safe sensible horse who moves well and is quality.

Dakota works beautifully on the flat and has a very good correct way of going. She has three super paces including a ground covering walk, a floaty trot with natural cadence and a super comfy canter that you can sit to all day. She works nicely between hand and leg up to the contact. She gives you an amazing feel and is very rideable. She has a lovely soft mouth and is light in the hand, always ridden in a snaffle. She is a nicely forward going ride with good transitions and a medium speed. She is a nice straightforward ride who doesn’t buck, rear or bolt ect. She makes you feel very safe and secure. She has been ridden by a range of different riders including competent teenagers as well as a 70 year old man (who currently owns her) so is nice and adaptable to her rider. She takes a wobble and a bouncy rider without feeling worried. I feel that she has a lot of potential to excel at dressage as she moves beautifully, is very rideable, enjoys her flatwork and has a nice relaxed way of going. She has done some low level dressage and showing in her previous long term home, but has never gone up the levels due to her owner being a preliminary level rider. She is ready to take out and work through the dressage levels, she would affiliate straight away as is nice and established.

Dakota enjoys jumping for fun. She makes a really good shape over a fence. She enjoys trotting poles and popping small jumps. She hasn’t done a great deal of jumping due to her previous owners preferences. So would be green to jump around a course ect but she has the potential to do more as has natural scope. She is sensible to jump, just lacks mileage. She has predominately been used for flatwork, hacking and fun rides to date.

Dakota is lovely to hack both alone and in company, it would be very difficult to find a nicer hacking horse! She is excellent in traffic and very confident in her own skin. She is very sensible in open spaces and not at all sharp or silly. She will also go out in a group where she is very mannerly and will canter happily in any order. She has been on a 12 mile pleasure rides, beach rides, to the gallops and hacking holidays. She would be very well suited to someone wanting to combine pleasure rides with competing, or equally just one or the other. She would definitely make someone a real quality safe Rolls Royce leisure/pleasure horse. It’s really difficult to find a horse as well b red and talented as Dakota who also excels as a pleasure horse and makes her rider feel very safe! She would excel as a mother/daughter share in that respect.

Dakota has a wonderful friendly temperament. She is the sweetest horse on the ground. She absolutely loves people and having attention. She is perfect to groom, bath, clip, catch, lead, shoe ect. She is currently stabled over-night and goes out during the day but would happily live out 24/7, she is quite a hardy type. She turns out individually or in a herd, she is a very kind horse who gets on very well with other horses. She must sell to an experienced 5* home where she will be loved and enjoyed. I can really see her excelling as a dressage horse. She would also excel as a non-competitive horse for someone to enjoy having lessons, schooling at home and enjoying hours of hacking. She will make someone a horse of a life time. Based in Ramsey, Cambridgeshire. Please call or message my yard owner Katherine on 07460820294. £15,000.
