Optical Girl aka Darcey - 16.2hh 7yo Dark Bay Thoroughbred Mare
Darcey is an ex-chaser and would make an older teen/young adult an excellent eventer who wants their forever horse.
A genuine mare with fantastic manners who has been in regular work 5x a week.
Darcey is good in her own company but also great with others. She has lived out 24/7 happily but is currently Living in whilst in full work. She is happy to be out in the field or in the stable a very versatile horse!
She’s a gem to do everything with on the ground shoe, clip, have teeth done, load, travel etc stands nicely and calmly.
Darcey does hack alone or in company and happy to lead or stay behind. She goes very well in traffic fearless and stands patiently.
She loves to work she is a horse that just likes to be busy.
She schools well polite snaffle mouthed and has 3 correct balanced paces with lovely striding and works great in both outdoor and indoor school. Darcey could do with more schooling work due to her age and still in training.
As Darcey used is an ex chaser and loves to jump logs, hedges and XC of any shape or colour, she picks up nicely and is very bold to a jump.
She has been to arena hires, gridwork sessions and xc schooling and is as brave as they come, she will never stop even if she (or you) are completely wrong she will try her absolute best to get you out of trouble. Darcey will jump anything youpoint her too no filler or jump is too scary! She’s got plenty of scope confidently jumping 80-90 tracks and has only been in retraining since the start of winter, she could potentially go very far in the right hands!
She is NOT a novice ride. She’s never naughty or nasty she just forward going and really enjoys her work! I think she’d be best suited to a confident capable rider who is forward thinking wants to go out competing regularly. Darcey will really turn her hoof to anything but does especially enjoy her jumping.
She’s ready to go be someone next best friend and will be quickly snapped up!
Sad sale due to change in person circumstances.
