Height: 15.3hh

Age: 20 yrs old

Gender: Mare

Colour: Bay

Health: Excellent

Lameness: Old Injury (nerve damage across the coronary band LF; occurred before she was two years old) - does not stop her from walking trotting and cantering around the paddocks with her friends

Vices: None

Personality: Friendly. Easy to Catch, Lead, Groom, etc. Good with other horses & ponies. Loves to be scratched under the jowels. Can be naughty for the farrier. Not too fond of loading, so she needs an open inviting box stall for trailering.

History/Training: Due to her injury she was never broke to ride. She produced three foals for her previous owner and was a very good mother. Her last foal was four years ago when she was bred to an event stallion called "Newton". The other foals were by "Uniekus" (retired) and "Money Talks". She lost a foal once when in foal to "Jiggy", now known as "Harry Potter". There was no pathology on the foal. She is a very nice looking mare and moves fairly well, despite the injury. She looks the spit and image of her sire and she more than likely would carry another foal or two. The foal she produced from the "Money Talks" breeding was the most impressive of the three. He is a Warmblood, Westphalien Oldenburg approved. Her foal from the "Newton" breeding is very slight and "thoroughbredy". They all had her disposition.

Future/Suitability: Companion, Pet

Adoption Fee/Purchase Price: $400 or best offer
