She is a tri-coloured 14hh mare aged 10.
Bought at auction a few months ago as a project, but owner now can't continue working with her for personal reasons (legitimately - I know her) so is selling for original auction price.
History is that she was a driving pony, then broken to ride and was so safe that she was used for RDA. But has been stood in a field with some other horses, doing nothing for quite a while.
She was lovely from the ground and had good manners. She was nice and responsive while feeling totally safe in the school in walk and trot but seemed to have no clue how to canter. I guess her driving and RDA history means she has rarely/never cantered when working??
Was fine out hacking and is totally unfazed by heavy traffic. Popped daughter on board and she remained calm and willing in walk and trot. She seems a genuine, kind pony who is just inexperienced. But very safe which is the main thing.
I'm not sure she is The One so my thoughts at the moment are that she could be a safe first pony for them to learn to ride in The Great Outdoors, while I school her as she is so green in a school. And then we would sell on. I don't know if she can jump - no-one has ever taught her to. So I think she would be perfect as someone's lovely, safe, friendly happy hacker in the future. But could she be my kids pony-teacher in the meantime????
