Finest Desire. (Phoebe)

She was bought as a very green 7 year old, from a showjumping yard.  Phoebe was a talented but very challenging horse, with a seriously quick rear and spin on spotting something scary!  With a lot of time and patience, her behaviour improved tremendously, but she still remained tricky, especially out hacking, which she never really enjoyed.  After spending the 2014 season combining BE and BD, she then moved to focus on BD.

Having retired from competition due to a field injury, she bred a foal, Rose, in 2019. Phoebe was graded in the Main Studbook of the British Hanoverian Horse Society.  Due to ongoing lameness issues, and her quality of life deteriorating, Phoebe was sadly put down in 2022.
