Lily Ballerina is a beautiful homebred 6-year-old, 16.2hh chestnut mare by Arko, out of Cara Ballerina, who jumped successfully up to 1.40m.
Lily really is a rare type to find. She is exceptionally kind, genuine and forgiving, with the sort of temperament that makes horses like her incredibly hard to replace.
She is currently jumping British Showjumping Discoveries and has also been cross-country schooling. She is straightforward to a fence, will happily take a miss and help her rider out, and isn’t the sort that needs everything to be perfect.
She would be ideal for an amateur, young rider, mum or family wanting a quality horse to enjoy across a range of disciplines. She could happily showjump, do clinics, cross-country, hacking, riding club and general all-round activities.
Although she is athletic and has plenty of blood, she is not sharp or difficult. She is the sort of horse you can pick up and put down, rather than one that needs riding every day to keep her manageable.
She is extremely easy to have around the yard and is very good to clip, handle and generally do everything with.
Lily has had a five-stage vetting. The only minor point identified was a congenital/birth cataract. We were advised that this should not develop any further and was not expected to cause her any problems. We are completely open about this and are happy for any prospective lessee to discuss it further or have their own vet assess her.
We bred Lily ourselves at McCashway Stud, so her full history is known.
She is available on a long-term lease at £4,000 per annum to the right home. The priority is finding someone who will appreciate what a genuinely lovely, uncomplicated mare she is and give her a first-class home.
