This very pretty young dappled grey filly has little interest in moving fast – as you can see in her jog video. But while this may be racing’s loss (she has yet to win in 13 starts), it will be jumping disciplines’ gain. Her trainer is sure that this well bred filly is going to be an excellent jumper; when she was a two year old she was turned out alone, wanted to get to the same pasture as her friends, and sailed over and easily cleared a 4 ft high fence in good form, with a blanket and leg straps on! Happily turned out with other horses, she has never jumped out of the paddock again – but imagine how much fun you can have channeling that natural jumping talent into a show horse career. With her pretty looks, sweet and laid back demeanor, and light toe flicking movement, we can see her excelling as a show hunter, but her trainer also says she prefers running on turf than on the hard dirt track, and that bodes well for eventing too. The trainer reports that Ida De Nile is sound, good to handle, and has no vices. Since she is only three, she will grow some more, and may top out close to 16h. She is very well bred, by Audible, a young son of the great Into MIschief, and her dam is by Pioneer of the NIle out of a Speightstown mare. Pinoeer of the NIle offspring are know to be excellent jumpers with good ammy friendly brains. Audible has Gulch close up in his pedigree, and offspring of Gulch and his sons and daughters tend to be superior jumpers. For her jog video, Ida De Nile wanted to trot very slowly on a long loose lead, but when she did move out she showed off lovely movement, with a light floaty spring to her step that elicited a spontaneous “wow” from our volunteer who was taking the video. This is a fancy young horse with top potential for a show horse career; that plus her grey beauty and her great pedigree should make her quite popular, so don’t hesitate to contact her trainer if you are interested.
