On behalf of a friend This horse is for loan And the home must come with references We have owned Poppy 16 hh (17yo, warm blood mare) for the last eight years and she has been nothing but a joy to have in the family, she is very much a glorifed pet and every member of the family rides her (I also taught several uni friends to ride on her during her stint living at uni with me, she's seen it all and looks after ven the most beginner/hungover jockey out hacking!). She has taken me round both our first intermediates, competed at international 2* several times - she loves an occasion!, won too many novice events to list, including a hatrick in our first season together. She then did a deep flexor tendon mid-season having been sleected for the Scottish under 18 team, and we took her recovery very slwoly, she returned to full work then did her hind suspensory ligamenet in a horrible field accident where anothe rhorse jumped out and terrorised her all afternoon. This being said, she returned again to full fitness during the first lockdown and we had the best time. We swam bareback most days throughout the summer, hacked for hours and as a result she returned to intermediate level eventing upon lockdown restrictions being lifted and moved down south to uni with me for a year. She was known as my 'perfect pratise pony' who let me make endless mistakes that my other horse wouldnt tolerate, she is beyond forgiving and doesn't know the response, 'no'. She is a gem to do in every single way, she has lived out with no rug/hard food during the winter for three years in a row between injuries, with multiple other horses, predominatly geldings, she is so un-mareish and is in no way dominant in the field, she is everyone's friend. She loves attention, I have done uni work sat on her back whilst she is lying down in the stable before, she's loves people. Her only flaws are she MUST be turned out/ridden in front overreach boots as has a miraculous way of pulling off front shoes which makes her foot sore. She requires no medication for her previous injuries, and is never sick or sorry but can't do intense work day after day, she is also older now (17yo) so likes an easier, fun-paced life instead. She never gets fresh and we can leave her for a couple weeks then jump on and pop round a course away from home. She also MUST be turned out with one other horse, she screams and runs around if left alone, so always is brought in first to avoid this, she also tends to be bullied if turned out with more than one horse so this is best avoided. She can spook out hacking, nothing at all dangerous and I ride with my feet out the stirrups with one hand on the reins absolutely fine, even after a week off. It is never at anythign scary and she is beyond familiar with all farm machinery, cows/sheep/dogs/cats etc, as she has lived alongside them all over the years. Due to my new job commitments, it’s my 50-odd year old mum and her friend who have been keeping her ticking over, so she really can be trusted with anybody on top.She goes in a snaffle, flash bridle with just a neckstrap, no gadgets needed.We are looking for a hacking /very low key RC home to be BASED in Northumberland or YOrKSHIRE Poppy would be very happy to do clinics, dressage competitions and is still jumping around in our arena at 90cm/95 level .She is 18 years old.Please contact by text in the 1 st instance the owner Mary 07779 990203 ...
