"Tawnybrack Cosmium" Bay Mare Dressage Horse

I have owned Meeka for the past almost 10 years, and this decision does not come easily, but purely due to my change in inability to commit the consistent time she truly deserves.

Standing at an impressive 17.2hh and rising 15 years old, she is a beautiful, loving, gentle giant with enormous presence and an even bigger heart. She has turned her hoof to a little bit of everything over the years. Prior to me owning her, I believe she did a little bit of show jumping in Ireland. With me, she has enjoyed some lower-level dressage, cross-country schooling, fun rides, and travelling to various venues.

I truly believe her ideal home would be with someone wanting to pursue dressage seriously and work their way up the rankings. Last summer we were having regular lessons with a reputable professional dressage instructor, and she showed lovely promise in her work. Went to a few different dressage venues, unaff. She has since had the majority of the winter off and will soon be coming back into full-time work, ready for someone to unlock her full potential.

She is not a novice ride and does require a confident, competent handler/rider. She thrives on connection and consistency. She needs her person and regular interaction to feel secure. She can be slightly anxious and green at times schooling, but this comes from sensitivity rather than malice. Once a true bond is formed, she will give you absolutely everything. With the right partnership, she is the type you genuinely feel you could conquer the world with.

She has the most wonderful temperament:
Has carried my 8-year-old daughter on the lunge and kindly taught her some basic riding foundations.
Free lunges beautifully and is highly responsive to voice commands and body language
Hacks alone or in company
Excellent around heavy machinery
Well travelled and adaptable

She is up to date with vaccinations, teeth, and worming, and is good with the vet. She is currently barefoot. For competitions or specific events she can be shod with the requirement of oral sedation - she is not nasty, simply not keen on the process, which is why I prefer to keep her barefoot where possible.

She will come with a full wardrobe.

This is absolutely not a first-come, first-served sale. She will only go to a knowledgeable, loving home where the horse comes before the sport. I am looking for someone who values partnership, patience, and putting the horse’s wellbeing first - someone who wants a genuine teammate to grow within the BD discipline.

This decision has not been made lightly, and finding her perfect match is everything!
