Besondere Shire Horse Stute

If everything fits, I am willing to give up my 6-year-old Shire mare. This is not a distressed sale; she will only be handed over to the best possible home.  

Cinderella was purchased directly from the breeder in North Rhine-Westphalia at the age of three. I personally met her there and picked her up. She needed to learn quite a bit back then, but she is now well-behaved in all common situations.  

Cinderella is barefoot and has never worn shoes; she is well-behaved at the blacksmith. She is regularly vaccinated and dewormed. However, she has a minor health issue: she sustained a head wound in a paddock accident, and there is a suspicion of ataxia. In daily life, I haven't noticed anything unusual—she doesn't trip noticeably or show any signs of falling or losing balance. She finds trailer loading quite difficult but is generally good at being loaded. During transport, she tends to lean back on the tailgate and has to exert herself to keep her balance.  

Under saddle, she has only been ridden at the canter in the field so far. Indoors or on the riding arena, she can only manage it with ground assistance, but with some training, this could probably be improved. She was trained very gently and gradually. The suspicion of ataxia should always be kept in mind, and special attention should be paid to any signs of discomfort or pain.  

I ride her both alone and in groups. She is familiar with the riding arena and indoor school, lunging, groundwork, double lunge, grooming, washing, drying, and shearing—everything that belongs to proper care ☺️. A dressage saddle in her size and other high-quality equipment will be included.  

She is housed in a large XXL box with daily turnout but is also used to paddock life.  

She is not suitable for beginners, as she can become easily unsettled in unfamiliar situations or environments and may try to escape. Once you know what to look for, this can be managed, but it requires experience.  

She will not be sold abroad (only within Germany or Austria), nor to riding schools, as a companion horse only, or solely for breeding purposes. She needs to be kept busy and loved.  

A few visits for getting to know her are highly recommended.  
Absolutely priority is given to the home, not the price.
