Bay TB mare, 16 hands, beautiful mover, needs experienced rider






Hello, Mariah is a 20 year old TB mare who acts like a 6 year old. Vets and trainers are always surprised to hear she is 20. She gets a lot of compliments. She is energetic and has a vibrant personality. She has nice conformation, a beautiful head and eye, and is a very nice mover. I have owned her for about 8 years, but I now have a 18-month-old daughter and another one on the way, so I am having to give up riding for a little while. :( Mariah really excels with a kind, dedicated rider who can ride her consistently, several times a week (if not daily). I have competed with her, primarily in local eventing, jumping and a point-to-point cross-country race. She is a brave, tight jumper, but is sensitive under saddle and needs an experienced rider with nice hands and a light seat. And advanced-intermediate rider would learn a lot from her about lightening their seat/hands, collection, forwardness, etc. I don't jump her much at home - we mostly work on dressage. She loves to go on trails, as long as she can be the "leader". Fox-hunting was overstimulating for her. She is a good pasture-mate, and prefers to be with the geldings (and they LOVE her!). She loads nicely. She is good with clippers, except for her sensitive ears - but they can be clipped too when approached with patience. Right now, she is very out of shape (low muscle tone, etc). These pictures are all from when she was working regularly. With consistent work, she is a muscled, beautiful, and healthy horse. She has good feet, no injuries, has never been lame since I have owned her. I am asking $2000, but am very negotiable to the right rider/home. She is papered/tatooed by the Jockey Club. I am available to meet you to show her to you on the weekends. Please email me with interest/questions.
