Honest Advert!
Melody is a lovely mare, came over from Ireland at the end of last year, we believe she had hunted and had a foal at some stage. We bought her for my 14 year old daughter, knowing she was green but planning to bring her on and take her to pony club.
She has come on in leaps and bounds, been to pony club rallies and competitions, done some unaffiliated show jumping competitions and hacked for miles. She does however have one quirk which has knocked my daughter’s confidence and she’s just not big or strong enough to deal with it.
On occasions, Melody can buck shortly after mounting. She manages to throw my daughter off every time she does it and really needs a bigger, stronger rider to nip it in the bud and continue to work with her, especially on the jumping which she seems to really enjoy (although is very much still learning)!
We have had her checked by our vet to rule out pain being the issue, and have now come to the tricky decision to sell her to someone who is able to work through this issue with her. If only my daughter were bigger and stronger we’d carry on ourselves, she will honestly be a cracking horse once it is solved. She is therefore being sold as a project which is reflected in her price.
Based in North Buckinghamshire.
