Sadie is a 15 year old mare who we have owned for the past 6 years. She has done a bit of everything – XC, showjumping, hunter trials, fun rides, beach rides etc. I am currently at university and I’m looking for either a part share or full loan for her from our yard based in Fordingbridge, fairly flexible. We have a 60x20 arena for use with jumps, forest hacking accessible via some road riding, and the opportunity to take her for outings in the future.

Sadie is extremely easy to do on the ground, a real yard favourite and not mareish. Good with the farrier, teeth, vet etc. Loads into our single trailer well using a Dooley head collar, just requires a bit of time to think about it. Happy to hack alone, and even happier in company. Good with most traffic but when hacking alone she does take confidence from her rider with larger lorries and tractors although I’ve never had any issues. For this reason, she is not suitable for a novice.

She loves group rides/fun rides/clinics, I’ve had loads of fun on her out cross country where she will put in the occasional buck when she’s excited, typical opinionated Connie, but nothing dangerous or malicious. She finds the school a bit boring so can be lazy depending on the season, with the right rider she can produce some nice flatwork but requires a bit of effort. Will perk up with a couple of poles, jumps or company. I have shared her with my mum for the past 6 years and she is the sort of mare that would suit a variety of riders - safely plods along on the buckle for a gentle hack but steps it up a level in other areas.

Own rider insurance and BHS contract required. A financial contribution to be discussed. Sorry, no under 18’s.

We have plenty of videos available on request, and happy to answer any questions. If you are looking for a forward competition horse, she is not this, but if you want a pony you can treat as your own and have some fun with please get in contact.
