16 hds, 14 year old Chestnut Mare (by Just a Cat x Maple Hill Jill)
... Perfect Mother / Daughter share This little lady is well mannered, snaffle mouthed, safe and sensible with a very careful jump.

Straight forward little horse with three well balanced paces and an honest jump. Safe out hacking, good in traffic and with the farrier. Good to load and travels in trailer, van and lorry. Would be perfect for someone looking to do low level eventing / show jumping as she is full of experience. Fit and ready to go (has scar tissue on hock from an old injury, but this does not affect her way of going in any way)
