Hello list,
I have been a lurker for the past nine years on this list, it has been fun
reading over the years, even through the few spouts and such I have learned
a great deal. I am sadly writing to the list as I need to sell one of my
mares. She is a lovely 9 year old (which I have owned since she was 6 months
old). I was in an accident (non horse related) and am having a great deal of
difficulty riding plus my life is getting very busy, so with a heavy heart I
need to find a new home for my Ilsa, as she needs a job of some sort.
Ilsa is a gorgeous 13.3 hand brown dun mare. NFHR Reg. No*: *  GMF-P-2058-M
and she has a super personality. She is trained to bow and would enjoy
learning some new tricks too. She has been ridden heavily by beginners for
the past several years but I have worked her training level dressage. She
hacks out on trails, down roads, jumps cross rails, goes through water, has
been to parades, shows and you name it. Trailers, clips (body clips and also
nose/ears/face), stands for everything, bathes, vacuums (head too!), comes
when you call, nickers when she hears you, is generally hungry and a sweetie
pie to hang out with. She loves people and just needs a human to be hers.
She'll let you lay in the stall with her and she enjoys being jumped on
bareback with just a halter or nothing at all. She is best suited for a
novice or advanced rider, as she can be testy sometimes but is generally
well enough behaved for beginners in a ring. Very well behaved on the ground
and anyone can groom/clean or adore her. I think she would be a fantastic
driving pony, although I have not done this with her myself. She may make a
wonderful mare for a breeding program too, as I really think she has nice
confirmation and her sire was a gray as a bonus.
Photo's available (last set taken May 27, 2011), she has been only walked
under saddle for the past two months as I can not physically do much more
than that myself. Can happily take video of her as well.
Photo's can be seen here

Price is extremely negotiable to a good home. Please let me know if you have
any interests or any questions. Additional older photo's available. Rider in
photo's above is 5'8", so please keep that in mind. Located in
western/central MA.
Thank you so very much

RE: water grass

We have a irrigation pond that remains full year 'round on the N end of our
property. The horses who are adventurous enough (read: Fjords) go 'graze' in
it. Its quite a trek from the irrigated pasture, about 1/4 mile away, so I use
the 4 wheeler to get up there. The other day I finally had to resort to
lobbing rocks at the girls behinds, after my Aussie/Border Collie the dog
tried her best to get them travelling home...they were very intent on slurping
the perennial water grasses in water up over thier knees. Yes Bonnie, "Hippos"
did come to my mind too! Oh, and they also enjoy rolling in the shallow end of
the pond to cool off.
