5yo steel grey 16h mare by Gregorian
A recent unseen purchase but sadly where she was advertised as 16.1/16.2, she is barely touching 16hh so is too small for me to keep for the longterm so offering up for sale through any point of her retraining.
She is an absolutely stunning model - compact and well built, and a beautiful steel grey with a lovely (not mareish in the slightest!) personality.
So easy to keep and to do in all ways, can be left in or out, by herself, or with company. No vices. Straight with no lumps or bumps.
Having only raced 3 times on the flat last year, she hasn't been "overdone" at all, and has had a lot of time to decompress now as her previous owner had not done very much with her.
I get the impression her racehorse days consisted mostly of walk and canter/gallop as when she first came she would just skip the trot and go into canter - however she is loads better now (but will still do the odd half trot / half canter stride) , schooling quite sweetly on the flat, but is no way "established" and will want a competent rider to continue her education. She has started learning to jump and absolutely loves it! She is very tidy over poles and a jump and makes a lovely shape. She has been out to a couple of shows and popped over everything I've pointed her at, not bothering about any fillers etc.
Not a spooky sort, and would likely make a fab little eventer (sadly the ground is currently too hard for me to take her out to test this myself, but if she doesn't find a new home before it finally rains, I will do just that!). Good to hack alone or in company. Good in traffic.
This is a beautiful unspoilt young horse that has now done the basics, for someone to continue to produce. Nevertheless, she is young and still wobbly/unbalanced in her canter so will not suit a novice at all as she needs a competent rider just to help her out and continue to bring out the best in her. Nicely responsive (but not sharp) off the leg and not at all strong, always in a simple snaffle. Stands to be mounted. Can get ever so slightly buzzy when jumping - she really enjoys it! Has not bucked/reared/napped etc or shown any badness whatsoever here, not a bad bone in her, and a real people pleaser.
Please only enquire if you are serious and can actually ride - I am very busy and don't want to deal with time wasters. In no rush to sell, as I am really enjoying her, so only available to a loving and competent home.
