"Queenie" Dark Bay Mare Project Horse

Queenie is available to the right home as a rewarding project.I've owned her for 6 years after buying her as a newly backed, riding-away almost five-year-old. I managed to ride her a handful of times before unforeseen circumstances meant she became a much-loved field ornament through no fault of her own. After a lot of thought, I've made the difficult decision that she deserves someone who can give her the time and consistency she needs. Queenie would benefit from being restarted and beginning a fresh chapter with a new routine and environment. Please don't let this put you off – she hasn't been overworked, physically or mentally, has no bad habits from being ridden. She simply needs bringing back into work by someone experienced & confident with young or green horses.When I rode her, she was a forward-going mare who took new surroundings well. She had the expected baby moments, including one spook, but nothing out of the ordinary for a newly backed youngster. She finds lunging rather boring, so she'd much rather have a job to do.She is a lovely mare to handle and has a kind nature on the ground. She lives out all year round, hasn't worn rugs for the past two winters, is an excellent doer, mixes well with other horses. I've been told to be a TB × Knabstrupper, although she only has a generic passport.With the farrier, she's generally good. She can occasionally snatch a front foot if she's testing the boundaries, but responds well to a firm reminder. She's happy with her hind feet and is simply a little impatient.Her vaccinations and teeth are due in August & will be completed whether or not she has found a new home.Sold as seen from the field.This is a heartbreaking sale, but it's the right decision. My daughter is now keen to ride, Queenie isn't the right match for her. Queenie deserves a knowledgeable home where she can fulfil her potential & finally have the job she deserves.
