Scully is a SUPER fun mare and is very easy to have around. With my recent health issues I need to scale back and Scully isn't as versatile as a few of my others so unfortunately I need to find her a new home. Scully is VERY good at her job but I think would do better in a program where she could focus on dressage and intermediate/advanced students. When I purchased her I was told she had jump experience and I found that not to be true. She's willing and will happily pop over some x-rails but gets a little awkward over anything higher. She is not a kick ride and has her own motor. I LOVE that students don't have to beg her to go forward. However her motor is a little intimidating to the complete beginners. With her motor and responsiveness to aids she prefers students that can control their legs. In my program I have a lot of very beginner students, I have never felt they weren't safe on her but their floppy little legs confuse her. She also loves to trail ride! She is a more forward walker and would do best with trail buddies that walk out. I was able to get in touch with a previous owner and even found an old sale ad from 2019. She is registered with AHS and I was able to obtain a picture of her papers (reg name Bellaire) but I do not have her papers in hand. She was previously trained to 3rd level dressage and shown to 1st level. Honestly Scully knows more about dressage than I do, so any skills she has might be a bit rusty. She is a phenomenal lesson horse and is very tolerant of different riders, she just prefers that they know how to control their legs. If my program was bigger and I was able to keep a horse just for the advanced beginners and up to do flat lessons I would not be listing her. We also keep front shoes on her when riding consistently. She is currently barefoot for the winter and is completely sound. We also have her SI injected when she is going to be in consistent work, Scully is low in the pecking order. If turned out with a bully she will get beat up. Our horses are on turnout 24/7. They have full access to grass/alfalfa mix hay at all times. I was told she has been stalled in the past and was great but I have not stalled her. She has not been marish at all for us even when in heat. Her previous owner had a few babies out of her and said she was a great mom. She actually got her tail chewed off by one of her pasture mates babies before I bought her last spring, so its a little short. She was pasture mate to my mare & foal this year and loved to dote on him. Scully has impeccable ground manners. She is good for baths and to load and haul. She is fabulous for the vet and farrier. She has a current coggins but the age is wrong- it lists her at 16 as my vet was just going based on teeth before I found the old sale ad and obtained the copy of her registration papers. If I do not find the right match for Scully she will 100% stay with us. We adore her but I believe there is a job
