Lilly is 12yrs, 16hh bay mare, weatherby's reg exrace (flat) horse.
She is vice less in the sense that she does not crib, weave, box walk or nap etc etc but she did come off the track and end up in poor hands.
She is sharp at times, and needs to be owned and ridden by a competant person. She can be cold backed if she has been out of work for a while or not ridden for a while. If you tack up gently and considerately this is not an issue. The only other time she is cold backed and can hump her back when worked is if she is ready for the physio. She is enthusiastic and sometimes a bit of a worrier so withers are her tight spots but plent long n low work keeps that at bay!
She's quite a sensitive horse, can be grumpy (ears n tail) with rugs. She also has little confidence in the clipping department so i give her Domoseden to do ears n head out.
Those are her bad points.
She's been out of work months now and is bored. When in work, she was used to regular Pessoa, flat school, poles and grid work and hacking ( i'm not a hacker so she is used to being boxed up n hacked round Escrick Park etc, she's happy alone but general on road hacking she may need a bit of work on- while i have done little bits from home my hacking is quiet, i have often rode and led another or led her and rode another to save time).
What ever your doing, schooling or jumping, she enjoys.
Always had a snaffle and for xc had a 3 ring snaffle on 2 reins and only took a pull on bottom rein if needed.
She has been 1st or 2nd in all her pure dressage tests, won most and placed in lots of HT and ODE with dressage scores of 24! Locally showjumped and when i started her off at shows did a little inhand. Did affilliated events last year.
Corking, gutsy little mare that needs somebody with time to ride her enough and get the best from her.
Has lived in and out.
Upto date with physio, vacs, teeth (happy with rasp and power tools).
