Personality & assessment

Lady Of The Night is a lovely, people-orientated mare with plenty of character and a personality all of her own. She is independent by nature and, like many mares, isn't afraid to have an opinion on things! However, beneath her strong-minded exterior is a very affectionate horse who genuinely enjoys human company and absolutely loves being pampered and fussed over. She has a charming personality and is a mare who we feel will form a lovely bond with someone who appreciates her individuality.

Suitable future pathway

We feel Lady Of The Night's future lies in a varied and enjoyable lifestyle, with plenty of hacking, which is undoubtedly what she loves most. She works well in the school and is capable of producing some lovely work, but she is an intelligent mare who thrives on variety, new challenges and plenty of mental stimulation to keep her engaged and focused. We believe she would be best suited to an active, varied home where she can enjoy exploring the countryside alongside regular schooling and opportunities to learn new things. With the right balance, we feel she has the potential to become a fantastic and rewarding all-round partner.
