Secret Skills ( Skittles ) is an absolutely stunning 16-hand Thoroughbred mare
(Aptitude Adinatha, With Approval) who enjoyed a lengthy racing career 51 starts with 6
winsbefore retiring sound at 9 for a brief eventing almost-career. Shes an amazing, natural
jumper with a 10 canter. (I couldnt miss on her, and I usually can really miss.) Conformation
other horses can only dream of. The prettiest face youve ever seen.
But (yes, theres a catch, of course), she came with a lot of track baggage from her many, many
years spent there. If kept in a stall, she has every vice in the booksome I didnt even know
existed. She was ponied everywhere in her past life, so she tends to meltdown if left alone, or
even if left without her favorite buddies. She did not enjoy horse show life; it made her a stress-
basketcase. Though I rode her for years and felt comfortable with it, she has some under-saddle
traits that do ma and not suited for a riding home (happy to explain further via email or phone
to people seriously interested in her for breeding), but shes an amazing animal whod have the
worlds most athletic and gorgeous babies. Like, probably your future five-star horse? I was
slated to breed her this season because shes good enough I thought shed make a horse even I
could get around prelimand she underwent a breeding soundness exam that came back with
two thumbs up but first COVID and now an impending cross-country move got in the way.
She s sound, super happy on 24-hour turnout with buddies, and currently living barefoot and
without any grain.
If anyone is seeking these bloodlines she has the same sire as five-star horse AP Prime and
numerous other upper-level eventers or in need of a surrogate mare, I d love her to
contribute to your breeding program! She s located in Knox
Knoxville, TN
