Coloured Mare or Gelding for Trail Riding

🌺 Wanted To Buy 🌺

Coloured mare or gelding for trail riding and liberty/trick training.

 

Sorry in advance for the longish ad 🙈

 

I’m looking for a calm, sweet-natured, easygoing horse to share adventures with — on the trails (bush, beach, even through town), for liberty training, and maybe even trying working equitation and ARC.

 

I devastatingly lost my heart horse unexpectedly a few months ago 💔. She was my dream horse, and while I wasn’t planning to look again so soon, I miss riding so much.

My criteria might seem picky, but I had my perfect girl, and filling her shoes will be really hard.

 

Musts:

• Palominos, buckskins, pintos, silvers etc
• Sweet natured mare preferred, but open to geldings
• Under 14 years old
• Over 15hh
• Trail experience, must be happy ridden alone and in groups
• Easy to float
• Calm nature (not hot or spooky), good after a spell — as my health sometimes affects how consistently I can ride
• Happy in a herd, kind to paddock mates (they’ll live with my two friendly aged TB geldings who won’t cope with a bully)
• No TBs/STBs (don’t get me wrong, I love them — both my boys are TBs! — but I’d like something different this time)
• Preference for QH, SH, heavy crosses etc
• Sound, healthy, and open to vet checks
• Does not need to be a ribbon winner or be super educated, just needs to be easygoing and safe.

 

 

What I can offer:

• A lifelong, 5-star loving home — my horses are family ❤️
• Excellent care with experienced farriers, vets, bodyworkers, and nutritionists (all of whom can vouch for me)
• Fun adventures! This year alone I’ve ridden at the national arboretum, the beach, rivers, and around town, plus I join ATHRA club rides whenever I can
• Training based on positive reinforcement and liberty, giving my horses autonomy and a voice
• Open invitation for past owners to visit, and regular updates if they’d like — I’ve had my 25-year-old TB for 12 years and still send photos to his old owners, who visit him too ❤️

Budget: preferably under $10k, but with some flexibility above that for the right horse.

I’m based in the ACT. Ideally horses located within 3 hours to view in person, but I’d also consider buying sight unseen for the perfect match. If contacting about a horse further away than this please be open to me asking questions and providing photos and videos  

 If you think you have a horse who might suit, please reach out 🥰
