Forans Sweet Clover “Fly”
A very special opportunity to acquire a beautifully bred, genuine and talented 148cm Irish Sport Horse mare with an excellent affiliated competition record and huge versatility. Elementary level
Fly is a 12-year-old registered Irish Sport Horse by Moore’s Clover (Clover Hill), combining Connemara and Irish Draught breeding. Officially JMB measured at 148cm, she has the presence, quality and feel of a much bigger horse.
She has been a much-loved member of our family for 3½ years and a very special partner for my daughter. This is a genuinely sad sale, and finding the right home is our absolute priority.

She is a lovely horse to ride and has the ability to continue progressing through the levels with the right partnership.
Versatility
Although dressage is her strength, Fly is a genuine allrounder with extensive competition and life experience.
She is regularly trusted to lead less confident horses when hacking and is happy alone or in company. Can be hacked by complete novices, Fly is a trusted horse to ride.
For competitive jumping, she can occasionally be nappy and is more “woah than go”. She therefore suits a rider who can maintain a positive forward rhythm.
In competition Fly responds particularly well to a quiet, confident rider with a secure seat and established leg.
Temperament &Care
Fly is a real yard favourite sweet, loveable and incredibly special. Her ground manners are amazing and she is worth her weight in gold.
She currently lives out during the day and comes in at night over winter. During summer she is happy living out 24/7 with company.
She is up to date with vaccinations, worming, teeth and feet.
