Description:
If you have been waiting for one that checks all the boxes, meet Nuala Rose. And as an added bonus, she’s not coming alone! Nuala Rose is currently around 5 months in foal to Bentinck Acres “Smoky Boy” (GV11879P), a 56-inch GVHS-registered Gypsy stallion, for an early 2027 foal.
Nuala Rose is a 4-year-old, 14-hand registered Gypsy mare who has quickly become the reason I look forward to saddling up and going riding. For only being four years old, this mare has an incredible mind and is as laid back and easygoing as they come. If you didn’t know her age, you’d almost think she was 20 years old by the way she acts. She has that quiet, seasoned attitude you normally expect from a horse with many more years and miles under their belt. She has the sweetest personality and absolutely loves attention. I truly think if she could crawl right in your pocket, she would!
If you’re looking for a trail horse deluxe, Nuala Rose is exactly that. I have taken her on countless camping and trail riding trips, and she handles everything that comes her way with ease. She will cross water, logs, ditches, and other trail obstacles without hesitation. She is happy to ride with a group or head out on her own and is the kind you can relax and enjoy the ride on. I have also used her to check cattle, and she takes it all in stride.
Nuala Rose has also been around exotic animals, and just like everything else I have introduced her to, she handled it extremely well. New sights, different surroundings, and unusual animals don’t seem to bother her. She has proven time and time again that she has a level head and a willing attitude no matter what you ask of her.
Under saddle, Nuala Rose has a nice, smooth trot and lope that are comfortable and enjoyable to ride. She picks up both leads and transitions nicely into her lope.
Not only is Nuala Rose a pleasure to ride, but she drives the very best. She stands quietly to be harnessed and is easy and enjoyable to drive. She has even been harnessed and driven by total novice teamsters and has been patient and forgiving while they learn. Whether you want to saddle up and hit the trails or hook her up and go for a drive, she is willing and ready for the job.
On the ground, Nuala Rose is just as enjoyable to be around. She picks up all four feet, stands well for the farrier, loads, ties, bathes, and is easy to handle. She is always the first one to meet you at the gate and can be caught anywhere in the pasture. There’s no chasing her around or playing the “you can’t catch me” game. Most of the time, she’s already coming to you before you even have the halter ready! She truly enjoys being around people and will take all the attention you’re willing to give her.
Nuala Rose truly has the best of both worlds with her beautiful Gypsy looks and the kind of mind everyone searches for. She is young with her whole life ahead of her, yet she already has a great foundation and plenty of real-world experience under her belt. She has been exposed to so many different things at only four years old and continues to impress me with how calmly and willingly she handles whatever is put in front of her.
As mentioned, Nuala Rose is in foal to Bentinck Acres “Smoky Boy” (GV11879P), a 56-inch GVHS-registered Gypsy stallion, for a 2027 foal. She is currently around 5 months bred, and we recently had an ultrasound done. Everything looked great, and baby is doing well! Not only are you getting an incredible young mare with the looks, mind, and versatility everyone searches for, but you also have an exciting Gypsy foal to look forward to.
I truly believe Nuala Rose could add something special to any family. She has the personality that makes you want to spend time with her, the mind that makes her enjoyable to work with, and the versatility to fit into so many different situations. She isn’t just the kind you look forward to riding, she’s also the kind you look forward to seeing in the pasture every day.
Take a look at her video, and I think you’ll quickly understand why I love this mare so much. From her quiet personality to everything she is willing to do, she is just one of those horses that makes you smile. Nuala Rose has definitely made her mark around here, and she will be missed around the farm when it’s time for her to head to her new home, but I’m excited to see where she goes and what she does next.
If you have been searching for that once-in-a-lifetime dream horse, don’t overlook Nuala Rose. She has the looks, personality, brains, versatility, and an exciting foal on the way, all wrapped into one beautiful package. Horses like her are hard to come by, especially at only four years old with so much ahead of her. Don’t miss your chance to make Nuala Rose part of your family. She truly is the kind of horse people dream about owning!
