13.1 all rounder mare in Newbury
Ethel, she is 13.1 and 5 years old, despite her young age she is well schooled working in an easy outline with active paces happily learning lateral work and is establishing leg yield and simple changes. Ethel jumps 80cm at home and has jumped up to 90cm cross country proving honest and bold. Ethel stands patiently for the farrier who comes and trims her every 12 weeks, she is barefoot and does not show any sign of needing shoes. Ethel had also taught 3 little boys to ride taking them over their first jumps and learning to canter. Hacking is bombproof fun and safe, will pop a log and gallop on the buckle or will plod on slowly really adapting to the rider. Ethel has been clipped over the winter and has needed sedation in the past but with a patient clipper and handler has stood to be clipped unsedated. Ethel does also suffer with unexplained sporadic scabbing on her 2 hind legs which despite numerous tests has not been diagnosed, however can be managed by keeping feathers off and keeping legs clean and dry, prevention is fairly easy as long as signs are noticed. Ethel will not be going to just any home as her sweet character and can do attitude makes her to good to be spoiled she wants a forever home where she will take her jockey to pony club rallies and out competing with lots of variety.
