Sapphire is a gorgeous 3 year old, 16.1hh, grey, Gypsy Vanner/Shire cross mare. She is not only flashy and eye-catching, but she has a personality unlike any other horse I've met. Sapphire has a quiet and willing attitude no matter where she is, along with a wonderful temperament and excellent ground manners. She was being used at a kids camp, and was being ridden by children of all ages that weren't experienced around horses, and she is and has always been just a gentle giant. She's been hauled on many occasions, and has been ridden through rugged terrain all throughout the mountains. She is very surefooted and has no issues with various types of wildlife including birds, wild turkeys, deer, coyotes, etc. Sapphire remains steadfast and isn't phased when unexpected things happen on the trail, such as unleashed dogs running up barking, or chaotic traffic. She has been exposed to semi trucks, trailers, and tractors, and has not exhibited any issues. She will go down steep slopes, cross water shallow or deep, cross bridges, and step over logs and collapsed trees. This mare has done and seen it all. She loads, stands tied, bathes, clips, and stands to be tacked and mounted. Sapphire does well in a pasture with other horses, is very easy to catch, and is overall a very easy keeper. She has LOTS of feathering, as well as a thick mane and tail, but maintenance is fairly easy. She is completely sound with no vices or health issues, and is up to date on everything (dewormed, feet trimmed, teeth floated, etc). We keep front shoes on all of our horses due to the fact we have lots of rocks where we live, but she would do fine barefoot. We are located in Aurora, CO.
