Welsh Mix Stute Freizeit sucht neues Zuhause

Soul horse (18 years old) seeks new home - trail expert with character

For personal reasons, I am looking for a new home for my mare born in June 2008, 145cm (but she covers well due to her stature; I am 1.75m tall).

Location: Viersen

✅ Shoeing and loading well-behaved  
✅ Basic training in English and Western riding  
✅ Strong character  
✅ Excellent in horsemanship – loves groundwork. Goes through water, flapping tape, balls, umbrellas, and combines  
✅ Rides alone on trails  
✅ No sweet itch, no known health issues  
✅ Barefoot, regularly maintained  
✅ Teeth done in 2024  

She was originally ridden English but received a solid Western foundation a few years ago. I have mainly taken her out on trails – she loves the outdoors, goes great alone, and is unflappable (combine harvesters, umbrellas, flapping tarps – no problem). Even after longer breaks from riding, you can get back on, and she just goes along.

However, she needs clear, consistent leadership. If you let her get away with too much, she will test you. She has character – in the best sense. Those who handle her fairly, calmly, and confidently will find a pony to fall in love with.

She loves groundwork. Whether it's a gym ball, flapping tape, or water – she participates in everything. And yes, if you’re not careful, she might even lie down with you in the lake.  
She is shoeing and loading well-behaved and has not had any serious health issues in the 8 years I have had her by my side. No sweet itch, no laminitis, no arthritis. Currently barefoot, regularly maintained.  
She is easy to feed and needs to lose a bit of weight – I just can't exercise her as much as she needs right now.

Regarding her living conditions:  
She is familiar with open stables and mixed herds. Currently, she is kept in stalls with all-day turnout – this works well.

She will not be sold to dealers or riding schools.
