For Loan Orla
15.1 7yo ISH mare ideally suited to showjumping/eventing loan home with an experienced, knowledgeable and kind rider (ideally 11stone max). She is available to move yards up to 2 hrs away from her current location near Skipton. Not a novice horse.
Orla has been brought on slowly in the last year with us. Initially she had some confidence issues with new situations but this has got much better with time, patience and an understanding approach. However, she can still nap when feeling worried and needs reassurance from her rider to give her confidence. Orla will be best suited to an older, confident teen with good training support or a lightweight adult.
Orla has a very easy, scopey jumping technique taking her rider nicely to a fence without being strong and has good brakes. She is lots of fun to ride and has been out and about on XC training, fun rides, PC camp and seems to really enjoy a varied life-especially where jumping is involved! She jumps 1m with ease and could easily go higher. She would excel in a competitive home in the right hands and now needs experience getting out into the world .
She is still green in her schooling as she has not been rushed but is now starting to work in a consistent contact.
Orla hacks well in company and will hack alone in familiar places.
It can sometimes take a few minutes to load her but a calm approach always works.
Orla has a clean vet history and is fit and ready to do a fabulous job for someone.
