5. ‘Stunning schoolmistress’
Height: 16.3hh
Gender: mare
Age: eight
Selling points: “This Irish draught mare has 79 showjumping Ireland points. She has proved successful on the amateur showjumping circuit for the past two years, picking up many wins and placings, including first place at the Cavan indoor derby (172 starters). She was also second in the 2016 amateur championships at Millstreet and third in the amateur Northern Ireland championships a few weeks ago. She is currently jumping 1.10/1.15m with ease. She has also competed up to 100cm level Eventing Ireland and could easily move up to one-star. She has successfully shown and has hunted three seasons in Ireland. She is extremely easy to ride — literally sit and point. She is a mare you can put your non-horsey friend on to join you for a hack and the next day go out and win on. This is the sweetest mare to handle and manage and she is an absolute lady at home.”
