💫 ABOUT CHERRY
Cherry is a sweet, people-oriented mare with a very trainable brain. She enjoys liberty work, groundwork, and picking up new skills quickly when set up correctly. She is forward thinking, honest, and tries her best in all situations.

She can be buddy sour and is happiest in a herd environment with equine company. When settled with friends she is relaxed, content and easy to manage.

Sound, straightforward, and currently barefoot. Previously shod without issue.
History of mild, managed ulcers — well controlled with gastro support and has not affected
work.

🏆 JUMPING / PERFORMANCE
Cherry is naturally careful over a fence with good technique and scope. She has jumped up to 105cm at home and shows ability to go on with the right production.

She has competed lightly up to 55cm and has previously schooled 60–80cm courses. At the moment, she has been brought back down to around 50–60cm to rebuild her confidence and consistency after some stopping tendencies appeared when jumping higher. This has been a deliberate step to keep her relaxed, positive, and enjoying her work again. In the right hands, she absolutely has the ability to progress back up the levels.

Currently in work with myself and full-time eventers to continue her development.
