16.1hh Coloured Irish Sports Horse, Mare
Bella is a 16.1hh Registered Sports Horse. Probably stands taller, but I haven't measured her. 11 year old in May, mare, always told she has a gentle eye. Head turner wherever she goes. 100% in any traffic even heavy farm machinery. Not fazed by traffic calming measures on the road, we have 60mph roads on our regular hack, stands for you to open gates, mounted or unmounted. She happily stands for me to clank my little step ladder next to her to be mounted. She will not take off in open spaces, happily let other horses pass her, does not try to be with them. Good to box, shoe, catch, clip. Previous owners boxed and clipped her regularly for hunting, but I haven`t boxed or clipped her. She has never bitten, kicked, reared, happily let dogs run around her. Out hacking passed pretty much everything, noisy lawn mowers, cement mixers, scrambling bikes, chain saws up the forestry. She does not fussed on builders sand bags, will give them a wide berth. She is very alert and nosey. She is not a kick along horse, but safe and not sillly. She does need a confident rider to push her forward sometimes when she is unsure of something, but will pass, again not stupid or silly. She will if you let her try it on with you, so you need to be firm with her, until she knows you won`t be messed about. At first she is a little head shy but no problems when collar or bridle on. She can sometimes spook, her reaction is planting her feet, again nothing stupid or silly. She has no lumps or bumps or sarcoids. I have been very honest in describing her, but I can only tell you how I find her. No time wasters please, looking for a loving home with someone who can give her the time she needs to bring the best out in her. Please do not hesitate to ask any questions. £ Ono. No loans or LWVTB.
