Horse for sale

Beautiful Belle is seeking a new person to love her.

15.3hh, 13yo, mare by the formidable Gymnastik Star, over a TB mare.

I purchased Belle 3yrs ago after she had finished her role as a proven broodmare. Since then, she has had the book thrown at her. Hacking bareback on the beach, full wire hunting for 3 seasons, leading kids and ponies, eventing to 95 (schooling 105/110), open round the ring classes and L2 dressage (schooling L3 movements).

What Belle lacks in world beating qualities, she makes up for in nature & ability to do almost anything with. I think Belle could excel in straight lower level dressage, showing & would be the ultimate safe pc mount. She’s certainly capable of competing higher than I have with her but I don’t believe she has the heart for it. If you give her 100% accuracy, she will give it her all but over & above 1m SJ she lacks confidence. She is a xc machine & has schooled all 2* fences locally, she loves it! She excels in RTR & has had some minor placings in this. Her flat work is very well established.

No buck, bolt, or rear, a forward ride, but genuinely very safe. In the past two weeks she has kindly & safely piloted friends of mine for beach rides who haven’t ridden in over 10yrs. Can ride her in the waves, through rivers, you can even pop a child or a small dog on with you. She’s the quintessential pony club horse, she will do just about anything you ask.

Belle requires a home with someone who can give her consistency if you want to take her up the grades. As mentioned, she could excel in straight dressage, hunting, or she would happily be an amateurs mount doing the odd low level competition. She has a cracking walk & would be amazing for trekking or endurance. She could suit so many disciplines or all of them.

She is sound, in full work, a dream to shoe, float, truck, graze with others, worm. She’s is the most loving & kind mare & loves a good cuddle or scratch. She really is very nearly a unicorn.

Some quirks which are very manageable, can have the odd spook if grassy & finds it very hard to do her job if her paddock mates are out with her competing. In saying that, I have 5 geldings & she is Queen B around here so clearly she feels that she must keep an eye on everyone.

She has got me back in to competing, hunting & doing all the fun things with my horse that I love. You can take this horse anywhere. I adore her but have two youngsters to bring on & a horse mad daughter who is rapidly overtaking my competitive aspirations.

Home is of utmost importance & Belle will not be sold sight unseen.

Can come with fitted excellent condition Prestige Paris X jump saddle at additional cost. As well as a wardrobe of rugs.
