Tentatively offered for sale.... 6 Yr old, 14"2 registered section A Bay Dales mare Sowermire Jubilee.
Izzie is a typical Dales mare, Head strong, opinionated and has her own idea of what her life should be but once you win her over she's very loving and really does love people. She's extremely well mannered on the ground, stands back whilst her nets go up till she's told she can come over, moves over when asked, ties up etc. Good for farrier, vet, not so keen on dentist but isn't a total nightmare. She loads and travels brilliantly and fabulous to catch in the feild. She's up to date with wormer and tetanus. She will happily live in or out, she is currently living out for summer.
She was lightly backed at 4, she absolutely hates the arena so we just did a bit of light hacking that summer. We never found a bit that she was comfortable with, she went everywhere with her mouth open continuously putting her tongue over the bit as when you pick up a contact the bit catches her teeth and causes her pain. Not prepared to clamp her mouth shut we opted for Bitless and she responded well. We haven't really done a lot since then.
I'm offering her for sale as I feel she is completely wasted with me, I absolutely adore her but given the breed status I think it's a waste for her to just be a pet. She will need an experienced home if she is to be brought back into ridden work as she has 'quirks' in the school such as refusing to lunge or walk to roll without warning. She will hack out with another pony. I'm sure in the right hands she would make a fab happy hacker or whqtever but with her being Bitless she'd not be a ridden show protect. Alternatively I think she'd be a fabulous brood mare and this could be a better fit for her.
