Forward & Brave Competition Mare

Competition bred by the CHF stud in Ireland, with half siblings regularly competing on the international circuit up to 4*.

Imported from Ireland as a just-backed rising 5yo and produced for eventing. This mare is incredibly bold, brave, scopey - steps, water, ditches and technical questions never faze her. She progressed from unaffiliated 90cm to 100cm in her first eventing season and clearly relishes having a job. Comfortably schools over 1m10 at home. With the right rider, I think she has the potential for 2*.

She travels well, behaves impeccably at events, and thrives in a competitive environment.

In the interest of complete honesty, this mare is not a novice ride.

•⁠ She is not content with being picked up and put down. She needs a job and to be treated as a competition horse.

•⁠ ⁠I hack her alone, but she can nap and she has gone up with me. I’ve always worked her through it, but I want to be totally upfront so I can find her the perfect match. In company she’s a different horse.

I purchased her to hunt and team chase, but feel she is better suited to eventing or showjumping. With the right partner, she has the talent to be a very competitive competition horse. She a typical mare - incredibly clever and will get you out of trouble. Has a ‘fifth leg’ that gives you confidence.

✔ Good to shoe

✔ Travels and behaves well at competitions - we always travel solo and she's well used to having to stand by herself on the lorry while I walk the course

✔ Previously very nervous of clipping but now clips without sedation or twitch (she just needed time and confidence here).

✔ Likes to have company in the field (we pop her out with a Shetland)

✔ Moves very well and this is only improving. With a little more time she will do a very competitive dressage test

✔ Naturally uphill

✔ Unbelievable technique over a fence - the neatest knees!

✔ Snaffle mouthed in all three phases - never strong or heavy

Serious enquiries only for a competent, confident rider seeking a talented, genuine horse to produce and enjoy.

Extremely sad sale , but due to new job I just don’t have the time she requires in order to thrive. Would suit someone who wants to put their mark on a very fun, forward-thinking mare.
