How does this sound?

Okay, before I get told off for advertising, this is here to see if the wording makes sense. And also, is the price too expensive, I am not selling her yet, just making up an advert in advance.

Stunning 16.1hh grey mare, born April 2002. French Thoroughbred with good lines. Sire - Robin Des Pres, Dam - Divine Rodney. Has competed at Intro level, with scope to go further, schooled round Aldon novice course. Great to hack, alone/company (even the grandmother has hacked her out). Forward yet safe, snaffle mouthed for everything. Has hunted, evented, showjumped, pony clubbed and has proved safe yet talented in all. Would make a perfect riding club horse or would event. She does Crib, however this does not cause her any problems. A real good doer, eats like a pony! Easy to catch, load, clip. Elegible for ROR classes. Sad sale due to daughters G.C.S.E’s. £5000

Sounds lovely - that sounds like the sort of horse most people want - for 5k i bet she is snapped up really quickly - i know loads of people that would want her (inc me)!

I totally agreed with sandg1!

If i had time for another one I'd buy her

She is the grey in my siggie!! Forgot to add she got reserve champion in ex racehorse show, never out of the placings in ex racehorse classes. Got a dressage mark of 28.5 in one of her eventing outings last year. Always gets complimented, expressive paces.

don't tell me that! I really want her now

Hahaa
Her name is Fleur des Pres, as you can see by her racing record, she was rubbish!! But she was ridden by the one and only SAM THOMAS - Known for riding the one and only DENMAN

That's my claim to fame

Have you got a link to her BE record and by the sound of things you're in the South West??

 

[Shrek-Eventing-SW]

She hasn't done BE, the intro events were unaffiliated over BE courses, like Moreton, Stockland Lovell, Pontispool, Aldon. Yeah, i'm in South West, halfway between Moreton and Aldon.

 

[monkeybum13]

ahh ok, so whats her sj and xc record like? PM if you prefer.

 

[Shrek-Eventing-SW]

When we got her, she had done a tiny bit of xc and the owner tried a bit of BSJA with her. We have taken her schooling and to loads of hunter trials and events to try and get her to see everything. She was quite green with ditches and trakehners to begin with, but we have done alot of schooling with her and she seems to have overcome her fear!! Her showjumping is okay, I say that because she is not a perfect showjumper, she can get round a course clear one day, and have to or three down the next. But i'm sure with alot of gridwork and exercises to shorten her up, she should be fine. I took her to a showjumping lesson with Jabeena Maslin and she was jumping amazingly, courses of 3ft3 and a spread with a water tray under at about 3ft6. She is exellent with fillers.

Here are some videos of her doing xc.
