9 yrs 16.2 hh Bay Irish Draught X - Essex

Bay Mare 16.2 ID x WB 9 years old

This mare is showing 3 clear and good paces, when worked well. Needs experienced rider to bring to full potential as dressage prospect as this mare is very capable and has lovely medium trot and can go laterally with lovely head carriage too.
She hacks alone and in company, but prefers to be at the front. Never takes advantage in a group or alone.
She can jump and has potential over big fences but lacks experience and confidence although always works well at home.
She was brought for a teenager a year ago who has not made the transition to horses well so mare has learnt she can ?throw her dummy out of the pram? on occasions, although she never did this before and never does it with an experienced rider; consistency would settle her down.
She is being schooled by experienced rider at the moment and indeed is starting to work well.
She is good at being handled, clip, shoe, loading and stands on lorry nicely.
She does however crib but wears a miracle collar which works well most of the time.
Also needs to be watched in collecting ring as can kick out due to pony running into her and frightening her but provided rider aware and rides inside leg on close to approaching horses she is ok, and will improve the more she is in this situation as she has not been out competing much in the last 4 months.

This mare needs to be seen to see real potential as video does not really capture it.
