Bella is a 16hh brown mare with a beautiful temperament with a can-do attitude. She is working beautifully on the flat with three active, established paces and good balance for her age. She is showing lots of promise showjumping and cross-country. She is straightforward to ride around a track and is careful over her fences. She is brave cross country and jumps hedges, ditches, banks, water & skinnies with no issue.
She has been brought on slowly and sympathetically and had a varied campaign. She was shown as a Small Hunter a handful of times this summer and she was placed every time. She was 5th in a strong 4/5 year old Small Hunter Class in Balmoral.
She won the final of the Eventing Championships at Killossery Lodge Stud this Autumn, having returned sub 28 scores and double clear at both the qualifier and the final.
Her sire is the performance Irish Draught Lionwood Kinsale’s Lad, who competed to a high level of dressage and show-jumping in Florida. Her dam is Vrench Gomery K KWPN (by Concorde) who showjumped to Foxhunters and was shown as a middleweight hunter in the UK.
This sweetheart of a mare is ready to continue her eduction. She isn’t suitable for a novice due to her age but a competent amateur could bring her on. She has a very calm nature and doesn’t need to be ridden everyday, she has never bucked, reared or napped. Snaffle mouth. Hacks alone and in company. She is easy to do in all ways and a lovely horse to handle and to clip, shoe, box. Full history known from birth.
The home she gets is of the highest importance to us. She is smart enough to do any job but has shown real potential for Grassroots Eventing, she would also make a top class Working Hunter or a high level all-rounder.
Lots of video available via WhatsApp. Open to vet.
