I have paid for an advert which should be on the sales page soon
But admin if this is a problem then just remove it,
I just wanted go into more detail regarding the fillies nature,
She is a lovely filly with a blonde mane and very correct, she is by NABUCCO and should mature over 15hh, she is very showy and snorts and blows,
but...........
she is a sharp filly and needs someone with time and patience, one day she will let you groom her lead her out to the paddock etc, and another day you just cant get near her she runs around the stable,
I am not sure why!, once you have spent time talking to her and stroking her she comes around, she is very sweet natured and loves to be cuddled and if you are in the stable with her she mostly wants to be as close to you as possible,
She is in no way nasty, the farrier can trim her on one visit and she acts scared to death of him on the next!!
Please only contact me if you feel you are confident and experienced enough to take her on, she is not easy,
This lovely filly was bred to keep but I really dont have the time to spend with her that she needs,
I would love her to go to a loving understanding home, she is priced cheaply at £2500, she is worth much more,
she is Russian/Crabbet
Kind regards
Linda
you can contact me for pictures and more details lmlyall5@hotmail.com

Hi Linda
I have a yearling colt who is very similar - one day an angel and you can do anything you want - the next oh my god you cant touch me....
May I congratulate you on being open and honest about your filly and I hope that you find the right home for her.
Jackie

Hi Jackie,
Thanks!
I love this filly, I keep hanging onto her thinking I will spend more time with her, but she really needs someone that CAN give her more time,
There is no point in selling her to someone that may not be able to cope, it would not be fair on her or them
she is quite easy some days and I think she is coming around and then... we are back to the start
good luck with your colt Jackie as least you can geld him, that helps

Good luck on finding her a suitable home. Sounds like she would
probably benefit from a one horse owner who has had experience of Arabs and could give her time and patience  |

I've got one of these, although mine is a psycho - vet came to give it jabs and it threw itse;f over backwards.... turns its butt on me everyday when i go in the stable, i have to bribe it with food.
I put it down to the mother, she was very protective of the filly - you would think an excellent mum, but i think it made the filly bonkers. |

I have a really sharp filly similar to this also. Very very sensitive, speed on legs, I absolutely love her. If she gets upset about anything one just has to wait until she calms down. The slightest thing can send her over the top. She can be very like both you mare, Linda, and Michelle's. I decided to keep her as she is not for a novice and really felt I would never get my money back. The Linda Tellington-Jones book "Getting in Touch with Horses" describes my mare to a tee!
Michelle, does your filly have Russian breeding also?
Linda...I do hope you find a lovely home for her and congratulate you on being so honest. |

My gelding was exactly the same when he was a baby, he was an absoloute nut case, he used to rear, jump fences, drag me around like a rag doll, wouldn't catch...the list goes on for ages!
But now he trusts me 100% and he is actually turning into quite a gentleman even though he is still touchy, sensitive, spooky and nervous, he isn't half as bad as he was. Even though he still needs to be sedated for the farrier! I'm proud of putting 4.1/2 years of patience into him, even though we still have a long way to go |

I have a Russian bred mare (by Mascat) and she is also a lunatic. I would never have dreamt of selling her as I knew she would have gone from home to home. It doesn't take much to upset her, and when that happens, you really don't want to be on the end of the lead rope!!!
Saying that, she was a fantastic endurance horse, really tough, and loved the job. She is the grey horse in my sig pics. Unfortunately, she injured her suspensory ligament in the field and is now retired. I have decided not to breed from her as although I love her, I wouldn't want her all over again!
Linda, I think by being honest about her means she will find the right home, and only someone who has got the time will entertain looking at her. Good luck. |

I cant thankyou all enough
You have all been so supportive! I didn't realise how many other people had difficult horses,
I have to say though she is not quite as bad as some on here then, she doesn't have to be sedated for the farrier, you just have to be very calm around her and patient,
I just find she makes a drama out of everything,
Michelle it sound like you have your hands full
I think I must be getting too old for this,
Thank you all very much,
Kindest regards
Linda x

Linda - good luck with finding her a home with time for her! I too have a "difficult" mare - Ginger my Saddlebred x PBA - shes a VERY unusual character - I didn't breed her - but bought her at four - shes now seven & although broken in - has done nothing....I should sell her on ...but dare not as I would be so worried as to what might happen to her...we know how to "cope" with her now & for all her oddness I love her to bits! Folk say why not cover her with Rameed our Arab stallion - but I really don't want another one like her & knowing my luck thats what I would get! If I sold her I am sure she would be bred from - shes a fab looking mare with good bloodlines...but her "unusual" temperament I feel she should never be bred from!
Seems like there are many of us out there that end up keeping our "difficult" hores!

Its nice to no that people are so honest when selling there horses.I am sure your filly will find the right home, she just needs time & patience. My gelding hadnt had alot done with him when I bought him at 10 month old - he's very spooky and one day he wants a fuss - the next his ears are back and he just dosent want to no. He isnt a nasty lad, just very nervy, he's been having rugs on & off all winter and he still acts like its the first time he's seen a rug every time I rug him up. You just have to be patient and quiet and he accepts it, but it wouldnt take much for him to explode.
He hates a change in headcollar - colour etc, gets very mardy, I can just see him saying "WHAT THE HELLS THAT" ha ha. It took me 8 months to be able to groom him all over, little lessons but often. Front feet hes great with, back feet, a bit unsure still a bit wooden bless him, but we are getting there, slowly but surely. He still dislikes his mane been messed with, platting or brushing. |

I think you're very honest and very sensible Linda. How awful would it be if you let a horse go to someone, partially because it was a challenge, and they weren't aware and the dreadful cycle of being passed from owner to owner started. I bet the character traits would become more and more entrenched and instead of becoming easier would really be a problem.
And I think you're all very sensible not to breed from these mares, since I'm convinced you get more of the mare than the stallion (although the accent seems to be on the stallion when you look at breeding lines!), and with the mare's influence on the foal too, you could be taking the most difficult way out, rather than the easiest.
Good luck Linda. I hope you find her natural owner! She/he's out there somewhere. |

Hi
Jay has funny things that really upset him and although he is still a perfect gentleman it's so so odd that 99% you can go into the field and catch him on the other 1% he will not be caught or talked too and just wants to stay in the field no matter how miserable it makes him (he never stays out at night) I've learned over the years his funny ways and what starts them off and unless you are around them 24/7 it's difficult to deal with, so these sort of horses are better with people that have time, honesty is best policy, people then know what they are taking on and will hopefully be patient and understanding and get a great buzz from these wonderful horses.

Hi,
The fillies mother is a difficult nature too! but I have learned to live with her over the years and would not part with her,
She really hates men and I have to hold her really tight for the farrier and vet, I think she would eat them if she could
I have had three foals now out of this mare, and the other two foals are easy, the colt was gelded and is now being ridden by his owner,and the other is a filly (Pysnderella) is so calm and sensible, she lets us clip her head and bridle path,so I dont know why this filly is so silly about things,
It is so nice to see how many people have difficult horses but persevere with them,
I think horses like these do need a one to one attention, and it IS important to find a suitable home,
I would hate her to be passed on, its not her fault she just needs someone to understand her, I am sure she would come around with the right person,
again thankyou everyone for your support
Lx

Hi Linda
I really hope you find the right home for your beautiful filly that will give her 100% of everything she needs.
Time & Patience is the best you can give a horse that has the odd problem here or there,if you dont have Time or Patience or even the understanding that a horse needs then dont entertain as these problems will never be solved or even made worse !!!
There is always someone out there for these special horses.
I wish her luck xxx |

Hi Tracey,
I have just e-mailed you,
A lot of horses are not cycling properly yet, I think it is the weather,
As soon as it gets warmer I bet she will come in
Lovely choice of stallion

| we have difficult horses and would never dream of selling for the fact they would be sent from one home to the next which makes them worse. we were selling our four year old and when we dropped her down the lady said what are you doing with your coloured breaking her and selling her on we said which one she said the one that nearly took your heads off and the fence down when coming out the paddock. she was actually being good. |

I hope you do find a nice home for this filly Linda I agree with the time and the requirement of a one to one relationship my colt though now very gladly gelded was a pain in the arse to put it quite lightly he did similar things to what everyone else is saying on here refusing to be caught running away from the farrier being highly nervous turning his bum on you when he is unsure. Although I can groom him now with lots of protesting had to take him in a stable and handle him three times a day for a month, I still can't get him to pick the back feet up its very frustrating as his hooves really do need doing.
He went difficult to catch again for no reason at all few weeks ago but is being good now you have to use the same headcollar and put it on a certain way ie over his neck first because he gets bad if you try and put it on nose first I am now considering getting sedation for the hooves to be done as its driving me mad as never had this problem with a foal before they have always been easy suppose luck had to run out somewhere. |
  
My horse is my very best friend. Nothing in the world can separate us. When he dies I know he'll be waiting for me at the gate... just like always.
A horse doesn't care how much you know, untill he knows how much you care.

Hi,
Honey - there is no problem with selling horses, providing they go to a suitable home, I think problems arise when someone takes on something that they cannot cope with, eg. nervous or aggressive horses,
some people can cope and take it in their stride and other just can't!
I don't have a problem even with aggressive horses, they just need careful handling, but I have decided to cut down a bit and Nadynaa is one that is for sale, (IF I find the right home)
Having read some of the posts and the difficult horses other people live with, I realise Nadynaa is perhaps not so bad

Hi Zoe
I agree!
I have had quite a few e-mails from some lovely people offering to take her on and work with her for me and who have other difficult horses,
Just amazingreally
But I really would like to cut down a bit, so she is one of 4 that are for sale,(to the right homes of course)
