Mecklenburg Warmblood, Mare, 10 years, 16.1 hh, Chestnut-Red

Listing Overview

Balvenie is a ten-year-old chestnut mare by Bernay who brings together the kind of talent and temperament that doesn't often appear in the same package. She's been competing successfully through Medium level dressage with results that suggest genuine ability for the more advanced work, and she's already begun the passage and piaffe with a rhythmic trot that makes the collection look natural rather than forced. Her trainer has started introducing the flying changes every two strides, giving you a horse who's right at that exciting threshold where the FEI movements are beginning to take shape. What makes her particularly appealing for the ambitious amateur is her patient, gentle nature with less experienced riders, her reliability on the trail both alone and in company, and her complete lack of stable vices or handling issues. She loads quietly, stands calmly for the farrier and veterinarian, and gets along equally well with mares and geldings, the kind of straightforward temperament that lets you focus on the riding rather than the management. As a foal award recipient, she also offers breeding potential should your goals shift in that direction, and she comes with a current veterinary certificate valid through 2025.
