Additional Comments:
Phoenix was bred, raised and trained at Spirit of Texas Arabians. Sired by Envoy BBF++, US National Top 10 Sport Horse and out of the race bred Endurance Mare, TF Samara. She is currently in training for endurance and dressage. Phoenix was 2006 Region 9 Reserve Champion Sport Horse In-Hand as a yearling in the 2 and under jackpot. She is a very sweet, personable mare that likes attention and will come running to you in the pasture. She has correct, balanced conformation with very strong hindquarters and beautiful sport horse gaits. We have been hauling her to the trails weekly since August. She loads and unloads from a trailer quietly and without hesitation and will haul relaxed and eat her hay while hauling. She stands quietly while tied or cross-tied. She is easy to bathe and also stands quietly for the farrier while being shod.
Phoenix has been started with basic dressage training and has been ridden in dressage clinics. She knows back up, turn on the forehand, leg yield at the walk, side pass and turn on the hindquarters. She will trot in a nice 20-meter circle and picks up the correct canter lead without speeding up at the trot. She can halt square from the trot and will halt from the canter after just a few trot steps. She also knows voice commands.
Phoenix really enjoys the trail. She prefers to follow, but will lead when asked. Phoenix is an easy keeper and eats and drinks well away from home. She can easily carry a middle- weight rider in endurance.
If you want to learn the sport of endurance and live in the DFW area, she is available on a lease arrangement in our barn. We will continue to train her and teach you the sport of endurance, including riding with you in your first few competitions.
