Vendita difficile di una splendida cavalla dal carattere gentile

"Angel of the High Woods" or Angie for short is a 15yr old beautiful bucksin mare. She is a cross between a Selle Francais and a Normandy Cob from the Elevage Jouvin family in Normandy. As such she has the strength and gentle character of the Normandy and the spirit and beauty of the Selle Francaise.  Despite being 15 and well broken in; she only has the mileage of a 6 year old and while knowing the basics is rather green. That said she learns quickly and having been brought back into work just recently is progressing well. However she has a strong opinion and needs firm but gentle guiding and instruction from a confident rider which I am not, hence the reason for my reluctant sale. She is not spooked by anything - chickens, goats, cattle, diggers, tractors, dogs, cars not an issue. Loads impeccably, stands to be washed and feet done. Lives on fresh air - literally grass and hay and the odd carrot. Currently barefoot but has been shod in the past I believe but her hooves are in excellent condition. Her colour is beautiful with a dark buckskin dapple appearing now in her summer coat. Her movement is lovely and very comfy to ride. She has lived out all her life in large herd and currently is out daytimes and stabled at night. Middle ranking in the herd currently with a gelding and a mare. Lovely gentle sweet nature on the ground, loves a good scratch and being groomed. Great out on the trail and has popped over a small jump recently. Being buckskin she would make an excellent western trail horse. She has had a western saddle on and has had a little schooling in western that could be continued. Up to date with shots and worming. Teeth good and recently had her back checked and has no issues.
