Dressage

Dressage is Fly's real strength.

She has three balanced, correct paces, established lateral work and confirmed, clean flying changes. She is firmly established at Elementary and has the ability to progress into Medium with the right partnership.

She has enjoyed a very successful first affiliated BD season with my daughter and is a horse who genuinely enjoys her work and has the talent to continue progressing.

She would particularly suit an ambitious young rider or small adult looking for a quality 148cm competition horse to develop through the levels.

Allrounder

Although dressage is her speciality, Fly has a huge amount of life and competition experience.

She has successfully evented and hunted, competed to 90cm and is comfortable jumping around 1m at home. She has also enjoyed beach rides, common riding and extensive hacking.

She is happy hacking alone or in company and is regularly trusted to lead less confident horses. She is a sensible and dependable hack and can be ridden by less experienced riders in a hacking environment.

At competitions she responds particularly well to a quiet, confident rider with an established leg and secure seat.

Temperament & Care

Fly is a real yard favourite — sweet and incredibly special. She has excellent ground manners and is a pleasure to have around.

Good for:

• Farrier

• Dentist

• Clipping

• Travelling

She travels well and stands quietly on the box.

She currently lives out during the day and comes in at night over winter. During summer she is happy living out 24/7 with company.

Vaccinations, worming, teeth and feet all up to date.

Full veterinary history is available to interested buyers. Fly has fully disclosed, stable melanomas which have remained unchanged and unaffected and is reflected in her price.

Rugs included.

Beautiful fitted GFS Premium Dressage saddle available separately (£900).
