Betsy – 15.3hh, 16-year-old mare
The hardest advert to write, but we feel now is the right time for Betsy to find her next jockey to bring on.
We have owned Betsy for the last 3 years, during which time she has done showjumping, dressage, cross country, PC camps, stay away shows, hacks and beach rides. She will literally turn her hoof to anything — she’s brave, bold and always sensible. Betsy is a really hard type to find, being fantastic on the ground and always aiming to please when ridden.
She has done all Pony Club activities and has recently affiliated in showjumping, qualifying for the second rounds of the 85 Amateur Championship. She has also just competed at Scone.
Betsy is an absolute confidence giver and would be an ideal starter horse for an older child or young teen coming off ponies. She is happy to go up or down the levels to suit her rider’s capability, making her a lovely horse for someone to learn and progress with. She is equally happy taking things at a quieter pace or stepping up and being competitive, depending on what her jockey wants to do.
She is a really fun horse who loads and travels by herself and is more than happy to stand on the box at a show. She is great for the farrier, vet etc. and is straightforward to handle.
Betsy is the type of horse who gives her rider confidence while still having plenty to offer as they progress. She would be a fantastic choice for a child looking to make the move from ponies onto horses and have a genuine best friend to learn and compete with.
She is up to date with vaccinations, worming, teeth etc.
This is an exceptionally hard sale of a much-loved horse and she will only go to the very best of homes.
Based just outside Glasgow.
