Advert Description
15.3 Cleveland bay x standardbred mare 9yo. Up to date with all health care. Sorry, no payment plans or loans.
Genuine reason for sale. I’ve only owned her for 7 months & intended on her being my forever horse, but combination of health issues, lack of facilities & her needing more work than I can give means I can't bring out the best in her.
In previous home she jumped, did pleasure & beach rides, XC & horse adventure park with teenage rider. I bought her for hacking & she’s been in regular but light work. Ideal summer project for someone with facilities who can bring her on, build fitness & confidence. Good with machinery, traffic, road works & in open spaces.
When settled, she's a chilled ride who could go for miles. Has her own mind & will test rider at times (been known to throw the odd buck & can be nappy).
Good in company but needs work to hack alone. This is something we've been working on and she's improving. A confident rider with a light hand would have no problem once they’ve got to know her as she hacked alone in previous home with no bother.
Good to groom, bath & tack-up. Can pull mare faces & fidget, but ties-up well. Sometimes forgets herself & can be bargy, but consistency sorts this. Good doer. Not seen by the vet other than vaccs/dentistry. Great for farrier.
Turns-out with mares/geldings/mixed. Always catches. Respectful of fencing. Would happily live out 24/7.
Stabled at night & poor weather. Was anxious when she arrived and still has moments of this when something untoward happening, but routine has settled her. She'd need time & patience again to settle in a new home.
Finding her the best of homes is most important as I don’t want her passed on. Full history known. Tack/rugs/wardrobe separately.
No facilities for trials but can hack to neighbouring school (20 mins). She's a project & not a schoolmistress. She needs time & work to bring out her potential so anyone viewing must be mindful of this. Serious enquiries only.
