Very hard sale of our much loved mare who means the absolute world to us but now my 16yr old Daughter is in full time college she isn't getting ridden as much as she needs to be.
Dolly is a 16hh Connemara X Knabstrupper 15yrs old. We have had her 18 months and she is one of the kindest, sweetest mares who just loves people will follow you around the field, she has perfect manners, easy to handle with no vices, can sometimes pull a face but thats as far as it goes.
Great to tack up, shoe, catch, no problems with vet doesn't need sedation to do her teeth.
Dolly does have a slight flexation in one of her back legs, this doesn't effect her or cause her pain but she is a little stiffer when turning one way so because of this, she is not suitable for the show ring.
Dolly has jumped very well in the past but never with us, she can school really nicely but needs a balanced rider as due to her flexation will do a small bunny hop when first going into canter then will correct herself.
She is forward going so not suitable for a novice.
We have had lots of long enjoyable hacks over the summer. Mainly Dolly can be ridden on the buckle but she is not keen on Sheep or Cows so tends to jog sideways until she has passed them.
She will up a gear when riding out with another horse and does prefer to be out front so experienced rider is a must but saying this she never bucks rears or bolts. She can sometimes do a body jump on the spot if startled but has never shied.
Dolly can be ridden on her own but does prefers company either with another horse or someone walking out with her or riding a bike.
She is currently unfit so needs to lose a little weight she has only been ridden a handful of times these last few months so will need to be brought gently back into regular work.
She does love her work & enjoys going out but also just as happy to have a pamper.
Dolly isn't keen on boxing she prefers a trailer and can take half an hour to load but does travel like a dream so feel this can be worked on if you have the time.
Dolly is happy to live out all year but does need access to a shelter
Home is very important and she won't just go to anybody. We are in no rush to part with her.
£3500 with tack and rugs included in price
