Summer Rain is a very talented mare with excellent experience in show jumping, dressage, and equitation. Standing at 5’2”, she is compact yet powerful, capable of tackling a variety of disciplines. She has competed in numerous events since 2017 and has been a consistent performer, winning three Victrix Ludorums and placing in the top three at nearly every competition. She took Rene Ferreira all the way to be first place, 2nd place and the Victrix ladorum in the 80 cm SA YOUTH CHAMPIONSHIPS categories. She is stabled at Milnerton Riding School at present. She is comfortable on 90 cm and has done some 1 m training, although it will be her maximum.
Riding Ability and Suitability
Show Jumping: Can comfortably complete courses up to 90 cm and handle single jumps up to 110 cm.
Dressage, Equitation, Cross-Country: Well-trained and eager to work in multiple disciplines.
Experience Level: Suitable for an intermediate to experienced rider looking to compete in multiple disciplines especially show jumping.
Personality and Temperament
Summer Rain has a sweet nature with an eager personality, making her a pleasure to work with. She thrives in the jumping arena, where her enthusiasm shines, but always responds well to rider commands, showing both willingness and responsiveness. Her temperament makes her a great fit for someone looking for a partner who is energetic, a serious competitor yet completely controllable. Boxes easily without fail.
Health and Maintenance
Summer Rain is in excellent health, having had very minimal issues over the years. She has had some sensitivity to sugar in the past but her most recent blood tests reveal that her sugar levels are 100% normal. Other than that, she has no history of major injuries or health problems.
Note: She has not been ridden competitively for 18 months now due to Rene being abroad for a gap year.
Why We Are Selling
As much as it breaks her heart to part with Summer, Réne Ferreira is starting university and won’t have the time to continue riding and training her. She is therefore looking for a new owner who will appreciate her versatility and potential, and who can dedicate the time she deserves to excel in competition.
New Owner
Summer Rain would be a perfect match for an experienced young lightweight rider who enjoys show jumping and would like to expand into dressage or equitation competitively. She has a strong, determined personality and a proud heart, making her a competitive yet VERY reliable and well-behaved partner in any arena.
If you’re looking for a small but mighty mare who can go the distance, because SUMMER RAIN loves to win, then she is the horse for you.
