Additional Comments:
Roxie is a very pretty, 8 year old, Holsteiner x Thoroughbred Mare. Standing at an elegant 16hh. She jumps 2'6" courses, has schooled cross country a few times in 2008 and has also shown. Roxie had a year off due to the owner's pregnancy and is now getting back into jumping. She has a great personality, no vices, not marish at all. She is a great horse but the owner feels that she does not have the movement to excel in dressage and hunter, but would be fine for smaller schooling shows. Roxie has just commenced her professional dressage training at Horses in Harmony.

Devon's Feedback:

"Roxie is a super horse with a really great work ethic. She loves to learn and and WANTS to learn. She is a pleasure to train. I don't believe she could go higher than 2nd Level (perhaps 3rd level) at schooling shows .. however, for someone looking for a wonderful partner that needs a horse that can be patient and forgiving, whilst still sensitive and forward going, then Roxie would be great. Roxie is also a babydoll on the ground. She loves the attention and is all girl .. .loves her spa treatments and lives for the hugs and kisses. She has been looking forward to her schooling sessions. She will start off a little tense .. and this will soon become a non-issue. When I say "tense", I mean that she will have shorter and choppier paces .. rather than the longer and more languid strides we would like to see in our dressage horses during the warm up/relaxation stage. However, she does not run away, bolt, buck or nap. She needs a quiet rider with a quiet hand, leg and seat and she will relax very quickly. The same in her trot (which, by the way, is very comfortable) ... she will start off behind the leg and very short in her strides .. but once she gains confidence in you, her strides will get longer and her back will relax. Within 4 sessions, I had her lower her croup, free up her shoulders and give me a decent lengthening at the trot. She is a serious worker, too .. (has to be the Holsteiner in her!) .. once she gets busy, she gets very into her schooling session and gives everything she has. She responds to the lightest of seat and leg aids for lateral work .. she is just a little green right now as she has not had any dressage training. Roxie has been with her current owner for 3 years. This is a reluctant sale and only due to the owner's lack of time. The more the owner is seeing how incredibly Roxie is responding to dressage training, the harder the decision is to let her go. Roxie's price will continue to increase the longer she stays in professional training. Video to follow within the next few days. Note that Roxie is not registered. Roxie is up to date with wormer, vaccinations, farrier and has a current negative coggins
