Blagdon Mare for sale 14.1 hh 8 years old
Stunning Blagdon Cob Mare History We bought Mary from a dealer for my 60-something year old mum to hack. She had a high worm burden and wasn't up to date with vaccinations, teeth etc. We have now rectified this. She is passported at 14.1hh and 8 years old but she is more like 13.3hh, very wide and chunky. Good bits Mary is great out hacking she will go first or last, rides out in a group or on her own. She is never silly in open spaces even when other horses are cantering or galloping in front of her, she is a forward ride and not a plod. She is green in the school which we have been working on, she is very willing to learn, she pops a small jump and lunges and is just getting the hang of voice commands. She has just started showing, ridden and in hand which she really enjoys. She can be left for weeks not ridden then get on and ride and she is fine. She is great for the farrier and dentist and enjoys a bath. She is very funny and makes us all laugh daily, loves to pull funny faces, she is cheeky and has a fantastic character. She is a stunning looking Mare with a beautiful mane and tail, we have clipped her legs but when grown she has lovely feathers also. Bad bits Mary can be very strong, this is mostly on the ground. If she decides that she wants to go a certain way she can drag you, this is not all the time just odd occasions. Sometimes on a hack she can become strong if she spots a juicy clump of grass. We have noticed that the more she's in work the less this happens. She is great in traffic but is very wary of farm machinery, we have been working on this, she does nothing nasty, just turns away and goes forward a few steps. She can be mouthy but think this is more of an 'age' thing. She is wary of being clipped but our clipper man is patient and she is getting better but we do need to twitch her to do her legs. Reason For Sale Mum has just been diagnosed with a bone problem which her specialist has told her that any fall or bad jolt could result in broken bones. She is now not riding Mary as she is worrying about her pulling and damaging her. We are looking for a 10* home for her as she is very loved and has stole our hearts, this has been a very tough decision but we are wanting to do what is best for her, and she needs to be out having fun. We would like her to go to a teenager or adult that will be able to further her potential as we are sure she will do fantastic as a show pony. Me and mum are both 5'6" and we have had a 5'11" rider on her and they didn't look out of place as she is very wide. Serious enquiries only please, no hoof kickers, NO DEALERS and even though it's not guaranteed we would like a forever home for her, possibly local so we can follow her progress and visit her.
