Blingy 6yr old TB mare
Catherine ‘Call Me Catherine’ 6yo Thoroughbred Mare | 16h Purchased as a yearling for $280,000, Catherine is a real standout with plenty of bling and presence to match her personality.

It has healed completely and does not affect her soundness or movement in any way. A vet report can be supplied. This may limit her in the show ring but has no impact on her performance potential. Fully shod (has worked comfortably barefoot), up to date with worming, dental and bodywork. This is a very hard sale for her young owner, who is relocating interstate.
