Barnsview Silver Lady
Dori is a 148cm 8-year-old Connemara type mare (unrecorded breeding), who I have owned since early 2024. She has been slowly and correctly produced during this time and is now ready to find her next person.
Dori is a talented, versatile and genuine little mare who really does have the best of both worlds. She works well on the flat with correct paces good transitions and lateral work (shoulder in and leg yield). She is capable of turning it up and taking you confidently round a course, whilst also being sensible enough to take your grandma for a hack! I have put my novice mum on her and happily taken them out hacking on busy roads with no concerns.
I have done a bit of everything with Dori, including unaffiliated eventing, dressage, showjumping, hunting, beach rides and plenty of hacking. She is incredibly easy to take out and about — I regularly load her up on my own and head off to the beach without a second thought. She has also been to camps and stayed away overnight at my instructor’s yard for lessons, taking everything completely in her stride. She has qualified for the unaffiliated 90s and 1m showjumping championships at Aintree too. However, although she has done a bit of everything, she has not been hammered and has been produced with her longevity in mind.
Dori is a lovely and easy mare to have around and a real yard favourite. She has a fantastic personality and is a pleasure to handle. She is good with other horses and can be ridden and led or lead another horse from her. She is not marish and is equally happy being turned out in a herd or on her own.
She is a very safe and sensible mare, while still being forward and athletic. She has a lovely attitude to her work and is always keen to please.
I feel Dori would be particularly well suited to a Pony Club or a BS home. She has plenty of potential in showjumping but is versatile enough to turn her hoof to pretty much anything. I think she would be a fantastic pony for someone wanting to progress through the levels, attend Pony Club activities, compete or simply have fun.
This is an incredibly hard and sad decision. I absolutely adore Dori and she has been a huge part of my life over the last few of years. However, at 23, I feel I have reached the stage where a horse would be more suitable for me. I would love to find Dori a home where her talent can be enjoyed and developed.
Homes will be carefully considered for this special mare. I am looking for someone who will love her as much as I do and give her the knowledgeable, active and caring home she deserves.
