Sletta von der Brunnenklinge

Sire: Spadi fra Bakarstödum

Dam: Sola

Sletta is a confident, calm young mare. She is currently approximately 1.38 meters tall, but due to her age, she is expected to grow another 2-3 centimeters. She has an excellent tölt, is five-gaited, and also shows a very elegant trot when free-running.

She was raised on extensive pastures and tolerates grazing 24/7 during the summer months.

She is a healthy young lady, curious, confident in her interactions with people, completely relaxed, and in the midst of her basic training.

She has been introduced to all the handling basics that a young horse should know for safe handling—halter training, tying, farrier work—all of which she handles without issues. She is also accustomed to trailer loading and does this routine effortlessly. So far, she has accompanied us as a lead horse, on walks, swimming sessions, and jogging outings, regardless of whether other horses are present. 

She is familiar with saddle and bridle, used to rider weight, and is gaining experience as a riding horse on shared rides (mostly without an accompanying horse). She is regularly worked from the ground, improving her relaxation and learning to communicate subtly with her handler. 

She demonstrates a lot of tölt in transitions and will be easy to recall later. Sletta learns incredibly quickly, so handlers should be clear about their expectations, as she quickly memorizes commands and aids. She has an open nature and enjoys working with people.

Getting her ready is simple: lead her to the paddock, halter her, and off you go.

Sletta has no allergies or sensitivities and shows no issues with laminitis despite 24/7 pasture turnout.

Children have often ridden her during walks, and she remains completely unbothered. With proper training, she will make a wonderful family horse. She has the character for it. Additionally, she possesses the sure-footedness and calmness needed for reliable trail riding. However, she is not a high-performance sport horse.

She is a resilient, friendly, and curious young mare—solidly handled, fearless, and ready for new adventures.
