- Description
- Melody is 7 years old, 17.2hh, a very attractive and elegant KWPN with Sir Donnerhall bloodlines. She is straight and correct with 3 quality, elastic paces, a trot that floats and a quality canter. She is relatively green but gives the rider a lovely feel and is ready to move on with her training. She is not suitable for a novice as she needs confidence from her rider to bring out the best in her. Melody hacks alone and in company, I’ve only lightly hacked on public roads in the company of another horse when she was happy to take the lead and guide her companion past road works. She hacks around the farm, passing machinery, tractors and trailers, cows, sheep, poultry and peacocks! She loads and travels well in trailers, 3.5t and large horse boxes. Melody has perfect ground manners and is good for the farrier, currently barefoot and dentist. She loves to be groomed and fussed and has the sweetest temperament. She is low mileage but has been to several outings where she behaved well and was easy to do. She has scored 68 and 69% at her first dressage outings and received positive comments from the judges. She has done pole work and popped a couple of jumps which she enjoyed but her work to date has mainly been flatwork. Melody isn’t at all mareish. She has a laid-back temperament but does have a brain. She isn’t fazed by horses joining and leaving the arena and has worked with horses jumping tracks around her and never bats an eyelid. She has individual turnout, doesn’t bother with her neighbours, is easy to turn-out and catch and doesn’t fuss in the field She passed a 5 stage vetting in February 2023 with extra x-rays, is up-to-date with vaccinations, physio, dentist and is vice and blemish free. It is a very difficult and heartbreaking decision to sell this beautiful mare but I have to face the fact that she needs a more confident rider than me so please, serious enquiries only. Only the best home will be considered for this special mare, she will make someone very happy.
