Say hello to Marcy!
Marcy is ready to find a home as a ridden pony.
Marcy is not located at our Bransby Horses site.
Marcy is looking for a small adult or competent teen who can continue with her education. Marcy is a safe and steady mare to ride, however she has been known to try her luck when being ridden by a more novice rider. Marcy is a fun happy hacker type of mare who would enjoy pleasure rides and is content working in the school. With some further education in schooling, she could become a fun all rounder. Marcy will happily pop a small fence but needs more education in this area.
She is good to handle and will gladly stand for some fuss and attention. She takes most things in her stride and is an easy-going girl. She needs to always have sight of other equines as she can become worried when on her own. Marcy has a history of lamintiis and suffers from the typical cob trait of mallanders; both of which will need appropriate management to ensure she remains happy and healthy.
*Marcy has a maximum rider weight limit of 10 stone/ 63kg.*
