OTTB Mare for Companion/ Light riding
Description
We have an OTTB Mare *Companion/ Light Riding* coming available soon.
11-13 years old, no papers 16.3/17hh
This lovely mare is not able to be ridden to the level her current rider needs, so she is looking for a new home.
This mare really bonds with her person so she would do best in a home as a companion to another horse, and/or a light weight person just looking for a horse to ride occasionally. She’s great in a herd and lower in the pecking order.
She is up to date on farrier & dental work.
Intermediate rider safe in an arena walk/ trot. She is forward in the canter, but we haven’t worked much with her in canter. Confident intermediate + rider for out of arena as out of the arena she is very forward.
We have ridden her mostly in a halter as she can be headshy, but she will take a bit. Her feet are great, no shoes needed.
She does crib, and can be cinchy so she isn’t suitable for an inexperienced handler. We found both of these issues aren’t as bad when she is on free choice feed & isn’t sore.
This mare was really underweight when she first came to us. She is putting on weight and muscle slowly, but we are finding she is not sound for a heavier workload.
She is currently back to doing ground work only to slowly build muscle/ maintain what she has now, she’s also getting body work done, and is on extra supplements and feed.
This mare has never tried to buck, bolt, or rear under saddle.
Rehoming fee in the mid three figures to an approved home. I am happy to chat with serious buyers only.
