14.3 Andalusian Mare

Looking for a kind, knowledgeable home for my mare on a full loan with the possibility to buy. This is a very difficult decision, so finding the right match is my priority. Valentina came from Andalusia 6 years ago and has been my best friend ever since.

She would suit someone wanting a horse to enjoy hacking (alone or in company) and schooling rather than jumping, as a non-jumping home would be ideal. She is currently ridden bitless and is happiest with a calm, sympathetic rider. But can also go nicely in a snaffle.she does have a history of ulcers but this was treated and scoped clear, the only way we knew was because she was rushing fences which she does still do, which is why I’d prefer her to a non jumping home.

She is good for the farrier (she’s barefoot), clipping and the dentist (with sedation as I’ve always had the vets do it). She can be a little nervous loading onto smaller horseboxes, particularly those without a run-up ramp, but with patience and reassurance she manages well. She loads straight onto a 7.5

I’m looking for someone who will treat her as their own and provide a loving, experienced home. Full loan terms to be discussed, with the option to buy for the right person.

She has a lovely personality and plenty to offer. She knows Spanish walk, is starting piaffe in hand, and has established medium trot work. She has also had a very successful showing career, having won numerous showing classes, championships and trophies.

Please message with details about yourself, your experience and the home you can offer.
