Striking, unspooky and very easy, friendly 15.1hh black cob mare (born October 2020) with significant presence who has been out and about locally and on fun rides - ridden by all ages (64-12).

She has the potential to do a lot more in the right hands. She has been hacked out on an “as and when” basis over the last 2 years owing to my life circumstances. This speaks well for her as she is reliably safe despite the irregularity of exercise and education. I am an older lady rider, now looking to retire from riding and want to see her fully optimised as the LOVELY horse she IS and the OUTSTANDING family horse I know she can become.


This little horse moves nicely and is happy to pop a log and is happy with trotting poles and cross poles but has had no “formal” schooling. She can be hacked on the buckle end and is more whoa than go-go-go but I personally (owing to my age) have never encouraged the super speedy side of life! It has been said, by two professional trainers , and I agree, that she would love low level xc and hunting or equally she could easily be shown with a good chance of success – especially because of her presence and calm and sensible disposition even in the buzz of a horsey event- or she would be equally brilliant as a loving family horse and happy hacker.


We live on country lanes and she is good with the local traffic. Her field is in the heart of a pheasant shoot – the guns do not worry her at all .


She is ready for a loving owner who will be consistent, thorough and who wants to teach her and/or learn with her. (Please note however that due solely to her age and size and my desire to see her progress she will NOT be sold to a novice or unconfident rider/handler). She is bright and highly teachable - as such she will quickly become “that horse” that everyone wants. I have not given her the consistency or next step of schooling she deserves.


I would like to see her being brought on intelligently and kindly with a view to being her new owner’s “life horse” having had a great and happy start here with groundwork, hacking and slow, steady and kind life experience. She is snaffle mouthed.


She has been clipped the last two winters. Barefoot with excellent hard feet, good to load and easy to handle. (She can snatch at grass whilst being led but listens when told not to). She lives in or out – solo or company & is a good doer. (She has been predominantly with mares although her first summer here she shared a field with a gelding and was fine.) She can be a bit bossy in the field to others but only pulling faces and chasing off. She respects electric fencing and does not eat the wood on post and rail fencing. She is unfazed being left on her own in the stable or when her friends leave her from the field and is always pleased to see you when you come to the gate either to say hello or take her in for a groom/ride.
