Della Jhamela

[katlyn]

Della is a lovely registered thoroughbred mare who did race, but retired totally sound, and without the desire or ability to be a racehorse. She has been off the track for 2 years, and is a fun, easy to handle mare who loves to work, and enjoys her pasture turnout. Della has been ridden by both more experienced adults, and intermediate children, and has done exceptionally well with both. She can go along as nicely on a long loose rein, as she can on more contact. She has nice gaits, with a big walk, a smooth pretty trot and a nice, easy to ride canter. Della's true talent lies in jumping, as she has beautiful tight form, with textbook hunter style, and tons of scope. She'd do just as well in the short stirrup/adult amateur hunter ring as she would in the mid level jumper ring or lower to mid level eventing. I am selling Della because my love lies in the dressage ring, and I don't want Della to be sentenced to a life without jumping, as she just loves it so much.
Della is as sound as they come, with clean legs and no "track blemishes". She is an easy keeper, gets along with mares and geldings in the pasture, is not buddy sour or barn sour and is a pleasure to ride and train. She leads, loads and ties like a champ and settles quickly and quietly into any show atmosphere. She's been in the ribbons both over fences and on the flat at hunter shows with tough competition.
