16.2hh stunning looking mare, 11 yo, TB X (possibly X WB) fantastic temp, brill to handle, great to shoe and box (owner not tried clipping) can pull mane, tail and bath easily. Very well behaved at shows, will stand on the lorry all day! She hacks alone or in company, first or last in a happy mouth snaffle, nice jump xc or sj. Excellent paces with scores of 70% elementary dressage - she has a couple of BD points.

Owner bought her for 5K for a mother/daughter school missress. She was severely ripped off, she spoke to the lady who had her before the previous owner and she sold her cheap due to the bucking. Owner has even taken her to court over it.

They are now selling her because previous owner was not totally honest with them. Mare was great for 3 months then started bucking - mainly when in season schooling at home. Has scared both 15yo daughter and mum.

She is currently with a rider who rides her through the bucks and doesnt buck hardly at all now.

She likes a routine and seen to weave if her routine is disrupted. She is currently not weaving as she is settled in her routine. She would benefit from regular turnout.

She passed a 5 stage vetting last year.

Owner firstly asked 2k for her and now she wants £800-1000.

She has had back checked and is fine. She is all up to date with dentist, farrier and vaccs.
 
Sounds like she could be high maintenance and possibly tricky to sell on again in the future but sounds sweet if you can overcome/disregard her quirks. For that sort of money she has to be worth a go, surely??
