Listing Overview
Tessa is the reliable campaigner who makes amateur riders look good, and she's proven it across multiple disciplines. This 11-year-old mare standing 16.1 hands has consistently brought home top ribbons and tricolors in the jumper ring, and she's versatile enough to have competed successfully in adult hunters, equitation, and even schooled training and first level dressage. Her jump is big and athletic with the bravery to match, and she's handy enough to enjoy a challenging course while staying honest to her fences. What makes her particularly appealing for an amateur program is her straightforward nature at shows (minimal prep, usually warmed up by her amateur riders themselves), easy flying changes, and the kind of temperament that works equally well in an IHSA lesson program or hacking out alone. She's currently excelling at .65 to .85m, where her forward thinking stride meets excellent brakes, creating that rare combination of scopey and safe that lets riders develop their confidence without sacrificing competitive success.
