Extremely sad sale of my 15.3/16hh steel grey 5yo mare.

Sadly, she has had a tumble and sustained a shoulder injury, so now needs *3–6 months of rest/turnout/hacking* before coming back into work. She is otherwise straight, correct and with no lumps or bumps, aside from a small superficial scar at the top of her foreleg from when she was a yearling.

If it were spring, I would be keeping her and giving her the time she needs. Unfortunately, my yard has no winter turnout, and I don't feel it would be fair to keep her stabled all winter. I equally don't have to funds to send her to another livery with turnout as I pay for my yard as a whole, not per horse.

She is an absolute dream to own and genuinely one of the easiest horses I've ever had. She's my "first out, last in" horse, can be left alone without a care and doesn't react when others are taken away.

She's a proper head-turner - gets compliments everywhere! Excellent for the farrier, vet, loading, etc. She's incredibly safe — the horse I'd put my non-horsy friends on — straightforward and snaffle mouthed to ride, will happily look after a novice or step up for an experienced rider. Stands to be mounted. Exceptionally well-mannered on the ground. I'd happily let a child lead & ride her. Non-mareish, very cuddly and no vices. Holds her weight well and has a lovely shape and top line. Hacks alone or in company and is excellent in traffic, including heavy machinery. She was my lead horse as she is not spooky and will happily go past things.

She has competed and is good as gold in a busy warm-up. Videos available of her in work.

This is a genuinely heartbreaking sale as I adore her. If someone is in a position to give her the time and turnout she needs, they'll have a lovely horse at the end of it.

I would also consider a SHORT-TERM loan as a field companion/similar arrangement, but you must be fairly local to **SO32**. I will not consider permanent loans.
