Steel Sapphire is a 2017 16.1h unraced Thoroughbred mare located in Central VA. She has been lightly restarted on and off again due to some health issues she has had in the past. She is a sensitive mare and had a rough start when trained on the track so she can get anxious at times when she is unsure of something so she needs an experienced rider as she is still very green. Sapphire has been taken off property lots of times and she has been to some local eventing shows to school at and has done well. Although it has been awhile since she has been taken off property. Sapphire has been over some small jumps and seems to really enjoy it. She cross ties, loads in the trailer, does well for farrier/vet, has gotten regular chiropractic/massage therapy work, and is up to date on all vaccines. Sapphire had ulcers in the past but she was treated and hasn’t had any issues since. She does have mild kissing spine although the vet does not believe this affects her ability to be ridden. I can provide x-rays to whoever is seriously interested. Sapphire also has a low grade heart murmur that could affect her ability to be ridden at a high level but has not affected her to be ridden consistently. She does crib but is controlled with a cribbing collar. Please message me for more information.
