This lovely mare is sadly offered for sale as she deserves a home where she can continue to do what she enjoys most.
I bought her a year ago for my daughter to step up to from ponies with the idea of competing. However, its become clear that this isnt what makes her happiest, and Id love to see her go to a home where she can shine in her favourite job hacking.
She is 17 years young, standing at 16hh, with a kind, gentle nature that makes her a joy to have around. She is excellent to handle in all ways good to catch, lead, groom, tack up, load, and with the farrier. Shes safe and sensible on the ground and has impeccable manners.
🌿 Hacking:
She is the ultimate happy hacker. She hacks alone or in company, is brave and confident, and is not spooky at all. She will lead or follow and is happy in open spaces and traffic. Hacking is truly her happy place, and shes the type you can just relax and enjoy the ride on.
I have had my none horsey husband hack her and she takes so much care of him.
🏅 Schooling/Competition:
In a previous life, she was a competition horse, which means she has plenty of ability, but these days the arena environment stresses her, and she can become strong. For this reason, I do not feel the school is the right place for her anymore and am looking for a home that will primarily enjoy her as a hacking partner.
💖 Health & Care:
She is fully up to date with vaccinations, teeth, chiro, and physio, and she has just had a fresh set of shoes put on.
Note: I had her hocks injected a few months after we got her as I thought that may have been why she is strong in the school and was disuniting in her canter. Turns out her hocks were fine but she had a very sore left hind soft tissue issue which caused this. After 3 sessions of chiro and bi weekly physio this was sorted and she's been fine ever since movement wise.
💖 The Ideal Home:
She would be perfect for someone looking for a fun, kind, and genuine horse to enjoy hacking, fun rides, and low-pressure adventures. She thrives in a calm, loving environment where she can have a varied but relaxed lifestyle.
She really wants to be your best friend 🧡
