"Winter" is not a type usually offered to the UK market. Imported from Belgium as a 3 year old, she has been brought along slowly and carefully and is ready to continue her education and be someone's dream horse. She is genetically silver dilute (black silver dapple) and is as beautiful outside as she is inside. She is out of a Lusitano mare and by a Rocky Mountain stallion. This cross (Iberian-Mountain) is popular in continental Europe, in the UK they cannot usually be purchased as adults as are usually purchased as foals and never sold on.
Winter is very green in school and will need producing, but she has 18 months of hacking experience and has grown up on working farm, dogs, children, traffic, machinery, seen it all. Can be ridden on the buckle open spaces. Never ridden in more than a snaffle, has gone bitless hacking.
Extensive video of backing process (when she was age 5.5) available.
Never any lameness or injury, barefoot her whole life with good feet.
Winter will come up to the gate, follow you around the field, stand for hours for grooming, fuss, and cuddles. Although very green, she has safely given pony rides to children as she has a kind and gentle nature. On the flip side, she will be a fancy and capable ridden horse at the various sport disciplines for the right rider.
She is looking for a home where she will be a special, treasured horse and family member for someone. Her size means that she may suit a capable teen that isn't expected to outgrow her, or a mother-daughter share.
Excellent potential breeding prospect for someone who wants to breed their own foal in the future, she had foals for us at age 4 and 5 and was easy to catch in foal, easy to foal down, and an excellent mother. Genetically she is EeaaZz, meaning if put to a black (EE) stallion, her foals can only be either black or black silver in colour.
