I have made the incredibly tough decision to look for a new home for Bonnie and it is not a decision that has been made lightly. Bonnie is a 13yr old, 16.2hh Standardbred bay mare.
She has a beautiful face, she is well built and has three lovely paces. She takes confidence from her rider and so is not really a novice ride. She can be nervous so a calm rider who will give her reassurance is a must. She hacks out lovely and has been in happy hacking homes only and has not done jumping with us. She will lead or is equally happy to doddle along behind.
Bonnie is dominant in a herd turnout and would therefore be better suited to singular turnout I think. When it comes to food, she wants to be first, she will inhale hers and then if given the opportunity, will not think twice about nabbing anyone else's! She has also cottoned on to the fact that if you approach with a head collar, she may have to do some work so likes to give you the run around! She can however be bribed with treats.
I am quite happy to discuss Bonnie and her quirks in more detail with anyone interested. She has a big heart, she has a lot to give but unfortunately it is becoming apparent that our mixed herd, happy go lucky environment does not suit her. She will not to go to anyone though, I'm looking for her perfect forever home.
