I am now in the market (doctorate-finishing present to myself!) for something sensible that would jump Fox (no higher) & was wondering about an ID. I had an ID mare to get over a completely insane TB, & she was very, very sensible, but built like a tank, 17.1 & too heavy to jump over about 1.10. My horse of a lifetime, the late Catembi, was by Cruising, 17hh & 690kg but was ISH rather than pure ID. He had a *huge* jump, but was also extremely sharp, & I'm now of an age where I cba with too much drama.
So would a pure ID work for me? I want to jump Fox but I also want to be able to hack out alone and enjoy it, box to lessons & shows by myself etc & just have a great time without being interspersed with near death experiences!
