- Thoroughbred
- Chestnut
- Mare
- 11 years
- 16.1 hands
- Terrific to jump, SJ / XC / Hunting. Point & Go - has "Nannied" young horses, giving a lead.
- Hunted last 4 Seasons - Ideal lead Team Chaser / Hunter, or Fun Competition Horse
- Could be a laid back hacking mare, with scope to do more; goes out alone, or leading.
Chianti is a super FAB mare, uncomplicated and very easy to do. Holds her weight, straightforward to clip, box, load. Beautiful carriage and confirmation; grandsire is Saddler's Wells.
She raced under rules and P2P coming 1st and 3rd a few times. Has hunted last 4 seasons with us, sharing between myself, my sister and my mother. She would be a super lead, or 2nd Team Chaser. She's bombproof, doesn't buck or rear or do anything nasty, but she is a naturally outward going horse. Jumps ditches, hedges, trappy rails, SJ rails, and water without a second thought. Would pop a hedge solo without following the field. Good with gates and stands well at the meet etc.
Lives in & out in the winter, stables well, doesn't crib, bite, chew, windsuck. Turned out with mares & geldings without issue.
Happily left in the field for 2-3 weeks and is fine to bring in and go for a hack. However in the hunting season we tend to hunt 1-2 times a week, which she is 100% up to fitness wise.
Never had a lame day with us, but she did have a minor injury whilst racing, but this was treated properly and she's managed 2 x a week hunting for 4 seasons without any issue.
Whilst I think she would suit a hunting / team chasing / fun competition home, she could happily be a happy riding horse, fun rides, low level competition where someone is wanting a fab schoolmistress to have fun on and enjoy, without high level competition in mind.
Price is negotiable to the right home. She has so many talents, she could do anything, but must go to a home which is knowledgable and private. Would suit a family with competent mother/father, or young aspiring jockey.
Selling now as big new work commitments in London and abroad means my time is seriously reduced in Dorset and my mother's personal family constraints - so we're having to reduce responsibilities.
