 Matilda is a 15.3 h 2yr draft cross (clyde x or shire x possibly?) mare that has a nice foundation put on her. I suspect she has a lot of growing left to do and probably will finish easily 16.1h maybe bigger. We thought she was a 3yr so we were getting her started and then our dentist was like no she just a 2yr. I really do not have the room to let a 2yr have a year here but hey we put a really good place for anyone to have a nice affordable gorgeous fancy draft cross with the basics installed. This mare is the sweetest and if you watch her videos you always see her ears flicking back or she is looking for you when loose. She loves people.

She was not well versed in the basics on arrival but now she is a champ at standing in cross ties, baths, grooming, tacking, lunging, mounting and has about six rides on her. One in the big ring and the others in the round pen. This mare is so so smart and picks up everything so quickly. We taught her picking up her feet in just two days! She has been one of those ones that has just been super easy to start. There is no silly stuff. No bucking. Not at all spooky. Yes, she is still green obviously but should be easy for someone to continue on with her.

She has been a true joy to work with and seeing her come along from where we started to where we are now in just a few weeks is so fun. She loves treats, will follow you around and is just a super friendly type. She turns out with other horses. Great to catch. Ships very well. No vices. No soundness issue. She does have a lump on her head where it looks like she had a cut that needed to be stitched but didn't get stitched and just healed lumpy. She is good to be in a stall. So far I have just had her turned out with another mare.

I think she is a lovely mover especially now knowing she is just a growing 2yr :) I mean she seemed young but sometimes it can just be tough to tell. I think she is going to make up to be quite a fancy type. She is athletic, smart and very willing. Not a mean bone in her body.

Located in Delaware. She is in the mid 4 carrots starting with a six followed by a five.
