Introduction: Equus Hooroo/ Mini is a delight to ride, handle and compete. Mini was bred by the Brown family before being produced to 120 level by Emma Isbister and Coco Miles. Mini was then purchased for her owner when she was just 13 years old. She has excelled and progressed beautifully in the role of ‘juniors’ schoolmaster for the last five years. 

With Mini’s owner commencing year 12, and scaling back her riding, this sale presents a wonderful opportunity for another young rider to learn from and succeed with such a wonderful mare.

Bloodlines: Mini was undoubtedly bred in the purple being sired by Higgins out of a mare by Calvaro Z.

Conformation: Mini is a wonderful example of the modern performance horse - compact, athletic and refined. Her paces display elasticity, power and activity.

Education, riding and experience: Mini is well established on the flat and would be competent to compete at novice level dressage. She has automatic flying changes, established leg yields, shoulder ins, travers, turn on forehand, and counter canter. This makes her rideable, adjustable and competitive on course.

Mini is competing 110 to 120  with 125/ 130 jump offs. She is training 125/130. Mini previously competed up to 130 with an experienced senior rider. Mini is currently in 3rd place on the Junior and Young Rider Leaderboard in WA.

Mini is honest, trustworthy, brave and is very careful around the course. She has schooled cross country and is super bold. Mini loves swimming at the beach and hanging out with ‘her person’.

Mini is a true ‘junior’s schoolmaster’ - tolerant of rider mistakes and always aiming to please. She does, however, enjoy her job and can get a bit spicy at the end of a round. In saying this, Mini is always 100% safe. Mini is currently in work and competing. 

Handling: Mini is patient and well mannered on the ground to rug, wash, shoe etc. She is great for the farrier and to clip. Mini is very easy to load, travel and unload - in either a float or truck. She loves cuddles and affection.

Behaviour: Mini has traveled all over the country. She is happy in big city and Royal Show environments. She travels well - loads and unloads without fuss and eats and drinks well when away from home.  

Mini is sensible and reliable and to ride and handle. She does not have any vices under-saddle or on the ground. 

Feeding and management: Mini is fed a simple diet of chaff, Hygain Ice and hay. Mini is happy to be stabled and prefers being paddocked on her own.

Medical history: Mini does not have any medical issues. She has been given Arthramid in her hocks and fetlocks as a preventative and is on Pentosan as are most high level performance horses. Mini is on Ovumate but when in season, even without Ovumate, she is still 100% safe to ride and handle. 

Rider Suitability: Mini would suit a competitive junior or small adult rider who is looking for a straig
