Horse Details

Being sold as a companion or project horse (following veterinary treatment and rehab). Orla is a 16hh Irish Sport Horse and has just turned 13. I have owned her for nearly 3 years and have enjoyed hacking on her own and in company, and she has kept me safe in that time. Due to a huge unexpected change in my personal circumstances, I am now having to give up horse ownership, so she is sadly now for sale. Orla is a stunning mare who is athletic, learns quickly, is forward-going with amazing paces, and has a lovely nature. However, in preparation for selling her, she showed signs of possible discomfort when being ridden in the school.

Following advice from the equine vet physio, I asked the vet to X-ray her back, and this has identified a slight narrowing of two of the vertebrae in her spine, which might be causing her discomfort. I am not in a position to have further investigations carried out that could determine whether this is causing a problem. And then implementation of a treatment plan, with the possibility of her being ridden again.

Good with the farrier, up to date on vaccinations, good to lead, with no vices. Can be head-shy but improves with regular contact. The right home is more important than price, and I will want to check out any new home before sale. She is currently based near Fordingbridge. Further photos, breeding details, and other information can be provided on request.  Price is negotiable for the right home.
