Vixen is a magnificent 16.3hh bay mare. She retired from military duties in 2024 and ready for a quieter life where her loyalty and heart can shine.
She is incredibly loving and loyal – forms deep bonds and lives to please.
Loves a groom and will stand contently for hours of pampering.
Gentle giant on the ground – easy to catch, tack, lead and bathe.
Stands well for the vet and farrier.
Excellent in traffic and with farm machinery.
Previously shod; now barefoot with excellent hard feet.
Fully vaccinated (incl. Stragvac) – vet checked and teeth up to date
Honest notes:
Retired from military service due to a blocked tear duct impacting her ability to wear ceremonial dress. This does not currently affect her and is not noticeable.
Out of work for 12 months (was a surprise gift for my daughter). She has been ridden in the indoor school and walked out in hand but had no serious work.
She will need a structured, patient build-up programme to return to full fitness (currently carrying a little extra weight)
Can be mildly mareish in season (typical stroppy ears-back moments, nothing dangerous)
This is a rare opportunity to own a horse with impeccable military training.
She needs an experienced handler happy to bring her back into work.
Please note: I work shifts, text me to arrange a call back and I will happily answer any questions. Asking price is what I paid for her when she left the Armed Forces.
