A calm, considerate and willing mare, she is a perfect mount for riders who want to enjoy their riding at a relaxed pace without compromising on ability and responsiveness. She has a 5th gear to die for when asked, she will love jumping both coloured and rustic fences, she is bold, athletic and careful she would compete in showjumping, cross country, working hunter, hunting, the great thing about Fern is that she has the ability to excel in any discipline while remaining calm and unfazed, she is being completely wasted in a riding school as she has so much potential.

she has been driven prior to us getting her both Single, Pair: harnessed side-by-side to a carriage and team in agricultural, draught, two heavy horses working together.

Fern is currently working 4 days a week in a professional riding school environment, she has excelled with every level of rider from competent novices to advanced, group and private lessons,both under saddle and during stable management sessions.

She would be ideal for hunting. She will stand and wait calmly within large crowds and open spaces and remains completely unfazed by loud noises or horses running around her. She does not fizz up, spook or spin.

Fern loves to hack out and does so safely and calmly. She will happily hack alone or in company and has been exposed to the heaviest, fastest-moving traffic imaginable. She is completely unphased by buses, lorries, farm machinery and all types of vehicles. She remains safe and steady in all environments and does not rush or pull, even in open spaces or on the way home.

Although she is happy to go at a quiet, steady pace, she is also responsive to the leg and has three balanced, steady paces. For more experienced riders, she will work with enthusiasm and energy, always staying calm and sensible.

Fern has outstanding ground manners. She stands for hours to be groomed and fussed over, with or without a headcollar or lead rope. She is never marish or clingy, and she’s happy living in or out. In the field, she keeps herself to herself and never causes trouble, whether stabled alone or turned out in a mixed herd.

Fern has a history of excellent health and has never had laminitis, sweet itch, sarcoids, or any lumps, bumps, or unsoundness. She is currently barefoot with strong, healthy hooves and is equally happy to be shod. She is excellent to catch, great to load and travel, good with the farrier, vet, and dentist.

She is incredibly low maintenance, requiring no daily work. She can have weeks off and return to ridden work without any fuss. She maintains her condition year-round on a simple diet and is easy to manage in every way.

She passes our annual Licence Inspection, which is the equivalent of a Stage 2 vetting.

Fern is a rare gem. She is the perfect choice for someone looking for a calm, dependable, and capable all-rounder. Whether you are a novice rider, someone looking for a safe happy hacker, or a family looking for a versatile and loving horse, Fern fits the bill perfectly. She is a genuine schoolmistress who provides confidence and enjoyment in every ride and will give her next owner years of pleasure.

This is a heartbreaking sale. As part of our regular stock rotation, we give our riding school horses the opportunity to move on to private homes every few years so they can enjoy one-on-one attention and new experiences. Fern is ready to bring joy to her next rider and deserves the very best home. Sold on behalf of a working livery.

We rotate our stock and we are currently reducing our numbers so we have a few other horses and ponies available for sale.

150cm Registered Welsh Section D Mare – 2017**

It is with great sadness that I offer my much-loved mare for sale due to my MS progressing. This is an incredibly difficult decision, so finding the very best home is my absolute priority.

Lady is a registered Welsh Section D mare, born in 2017, by Ionos Llion, out of a mare by (Pennal) Tireve Welsh Flyer. She is a quality, substantial mare with plenty of bone, presence and true Welsh character, making her an ideal weight-carrying type with the ability and scope to excel across a range of disciplines. Standing approximately 149–150cm (not JMB measured), she combines quality with a genuine, kind temperament and has proven herself time and again to be an exceptionally versatile all-round horse. I bought her from the breeder, so all her history is known.

**Driving**

Driving is where she truly shines. She pleasure drives confidently in the heaviest of traffic and absolutely loves her work, always going forward with her ears pricked and looking through the bridle. She carries a lovely light contact in your hand and is responsive without ever being sharp or strong. I have complete confidence driving her in any environment.

She has successfully competed in BDS events including Le Trec, show classes, cones courses and dressage tests. She was Champion at Smiths Lawn, highlighting her quality, trainability and versatility as a driving horse. She has all the attributes to continue progressing and be competitive in the right hands.

**Ridden**

Under saddle, she is equally capable and enjoyable. She has competed at affiliated level, jumped courses up to 1m, hunted and taken part in showing and dressage always scoring well. She is a responsive ride who enjoys having a job to do, yet remains safe and sensible enough for all the family to enjoy. She hacks confidently and is the sort of horse that can turn her hoof to almost anything. She has jumped round Suffolk County WHP course with ease & loves the beach!

She is never sick or sorry, has no vices and is a genuine pleasu8re to own. She is 100% to load, travel, clip and handle, and is easy to do in all ways.

This is a heartbreaking sale, and only the very best home will be considered for this special mare. She is a versatile, reliable and much-loved horse who deserves a home where she can continue to thrive and be appreciated for everything she has to offer. 

Her Hartland harness, Bennington carriage and her fylde ridden tack are also available by separate negotiation.

**POA – serious enquiries only.**

Please get in touch for further information, photos and videos.
