Additional Comments

Sale pending

Lyra is a classy 6 year old Friesian/Thoroughbred mare standing 16 hands high with presence, athleticism, an exceptional work ethic and willingness to learn. She is a forward, elegant mover with the type of quality that stands out.
On the ground, Lyra has excellent manners and doesn’t overstep boundaries. She stands tied and is easy to groom, clip, bathe, and braid. She stands great for the farrier and is currently shod though she does not require shoes.... (read more) Lyra is as quiet as a field mouse in a stall or happy to be turned out in a mixed heard of mares, geldings, and youngsters. She is simple to catch in a field and meets us at the gate. She requires no maintenance and has no vices.
Under saddle, Lyra is a dream partner! She is hones and light on her feet. She is currently schooling over small fences with confidence and shows plenty of potential to excel as a fox hunter or dressage mount. She is athletic, balanced, and enjoys having a job, with the movement and attitude to continue progressing in a program. She is safe enough for beginner riders yet will step it up and be athletic enough for a more experienced rider to enjoy. Out on the trails, Lyra is a superstar! She crosses moving water, ice, bridges, mud, ravines, rocks, you name it! She will hack out alone or in a group and will gladly lead or follow. Lyra will hack out English or western and goes in a simple snaffle. She is the point-and-go type that will go wherever you point her. Lyra matches her rider and can be slow and steady with a nervous rider and amp it up with the next rider that’s more confident.
In addition to riding, Lyra drives. She confidently stops and walks on easily. Shes very simple to harness and hook and is suited for nearly any level driver around the farm.
