Flicka has a heart of gold, she is very expressive, full of personality and character.
Flicka is a soft sensitive horse. She is a very quick learner and is very smart.
Her ground work is well established, she is very respectful on the ground. She is responsive under saddle. Moves off the leg, side passes, fore and hind quarter turns, back up etc. Flicka is a forward moving horse who can be quite quick on her feet.
Easy to catch, wash, shoe and float. Good with dogs. Flicka is bare foot, she has good strong feet. She is up to date with strangles and tetnus, Teeth recently done. She is in very good health. Infact a little rotund at the moment. She is a very good doer!
She forms a very strong bond with her owner and asks for assistance when she needs it. She needs a confident intermediate or experienced rider who is kind yet firm. She does not like being in trouble and responds well to positive reinforcement and encouragement. She almost beams when she gets it right!
When out and about, she does rely on her rider to show her the way and help her when she gets stuck. She can become nervous at times but with a confident rider she quickly settles down, relaxes and starts to listen and focus.
Shown as a yearling with success then started as a reining horse. Successfully put into foal, she had a beautiful healthy foal that was a spitting image or her gorgeous self.
I purchased Flicka mid 2013 as a relatively green horse, during this time we have been out and about to many different events including:
Social trail rides on and off her agistment property
Weekends away
Working equitation – Flicka placed first in her intermediate class for the versatility component.
Jump days at Northside jumping 45 / 50cm with confidence. She could go higher but It’s me that is holding her back as I am quite comfortable at this height.
Versatility days including obstacles, she is quite confident with tarps, bridges, ramps, ditches, she is good with dragging objects behind her, opening gates etc
Kids camps,
Sporting, dressage competitions
Cross country clinic
Beach rides
I am moving on as I don’t have the time to give her but this is a very difficult sale and she will only go to the very best home.
Currently in work, being ridden 3 - 4 times a week.
