A beautiful, eye-catching and genuine mare with the breeding, experience and temperament to make a very special partner for the right person.
Betty has been with her family since she was a freshly imported four-year-old and has been lovingly and patiently produced by her owner, with support from professional riders when work commitments have taken priority. She is now offered for sale due to changes in the owner’s work and family circumstances.
🌟 EXPERIENCE AND ABILITY
Betty is a quality, talented all-rounder who has successfully competed in riding club and unaffiliated dressage, show jumping and one-day events. She has also enjoyed pleasure rides, clinics, lessons, training days, hacking, camps and stay-away events.
She confidently jumps cross-country courses with ease and produces a lovely, accurate dressage test. When eventing, her dressage scores are consistently between 28 and 31, demonstrating her reliability and quality on the flat.
Betty has taken part in a wide range of riding club activities and qualified for the National Championships twice. She is also particularly good at arena eventing. She has enjoyed numerous hacks and pleasure rides, both alone and in company, and has taken part in Endurance GB.
She has attended numerous camps and overnight events and has always been impeccably behaved.
One of Betty’s standout qualities is her absolutely beautiful canter. She has the most wonderfully comfortable and enjoyable canter, making her a real pleasure to ride. She gives her rider a lovely feeling of confidence and security, always making you feel safe and looked after. Betty genuinely wants to please her rider and will always try her best for you.
Combined with her lovely way of going, responsiveness and eye-catching presence, she really is a pleasure to sit on.
Betty is exceptionally easy to take out and about. Her owner has taken her to pleasure rides, clinics, hacks, training and competitions completely alone. She can be loaded without a second person to help, willingly loads into both trailers and lorries, travels well and unloads independently.
Away from home, she is consistently well-mannered, sensible and impeccably behaved, taking new environments and experiences in her stride.
❤️ TEMPERAMENT AND CHARACTER
Betty is a loving, sensible and genuine mare with a lovely attitude towards her work. She is nicely off the leg and a responsive ride, while remaining safe, straightforward and willing. She has always looked after her jockey and is a real eye-catcher who is sure to turn heads wherever she goes.
One of Betty’s many appealing qualities is that she does not need to be worked six days a week to keep her happy or sensible. She is perfectly content to have a few days off, have her tack put on and go straight out for an enjoyable hack, whether alone or in company.
She is a versatile mare who can be enjoyed by someone with a busy lifestyle, provided she receives the care, attention and consistency she deserves. She is also a pleasure to have around and to care for on a day-to-day basis.
As with many mares, Betty benefits from a calm, confident handler who takes the time to understand her individual personality. Clear communication always produces the best results, and her character is part of what makes her so special.
For complete honesty, Betty does need to be held for the farrier as she can become bored. She can, however, be distracted with a haynet and treats.
🏡 THE HOME WE ARE LOOKING FOR
Betty’s ideal home would be with a competent, kind and confident rider who is looking for a beautiful, genuine mare to enjoy doing a little bit of everything with.
We are not looking for someone who necessarily wants to compete every weekend or push her to the highest levels. What matters most to us is finding someone who wants to build a genuine, lasting partnership with her; someone who will enjoy getting to know her, appreciate her lovely personality and give her the individual attention and understanding she deserves.
Betty has so much to offer, whether that is enjoying riding club activities, having lessons, going out for a lovely hack or simply spending time together. For us, the relationship between horse and rider will always be far more important than the rosettes.
We would love to see her become someone’s pride and joy, with one main person who will love her as much as we do and enjoy everything that comes with having such a special horse.
Although Betty is safe and sensible, she is still a mare that needs managing from time to time so is not suitable for a complete novice. We kindly ask that only experienced, capable riders enquire.
❤️ SALE INFORMATION
This is a very difficult sale, made necessary by changes in work and family circumstances. Betty is a much-loved family member, so finding her the right home is the priority.
She will only be sold to an experienced, suitable home where she will receive the care, attention and individual partnership she deserves. Potential homes will be carefully vetted.
Five-figure budget required.
If you are looking for a genuine and experienced mare with lovely breeding, a kind temperament, an exceptionally comfortable canter and the ability to turn her hoof to a variety of activities, Betty could be the horse you have been waiting for.
Serious enquiries only, please. When enquiring, tell us about yourself, your experience and the home you could offer Betty. ❤️
