Additional Comments:
Belle is a 15hh, 17yo standardbred mare, has been ridden western and english. Belle has jumped 3' courses with flying changes when she was part of the Olds College program. She has also jumped x-country. Ground covering stride, big trot for her size. When you get her on the bit, she rounds up through her whole body with a big swing. Her previous owner (adult beginner, western rider) said that she has a really great stop and spin. She is obedient, quick and responsive; loves to go, without being hot. I've galloped her out on the trail and her speed is very adjustable. She will walk calmly after the gallop. And that trot! If you open her up on the trail, she can really trot! Hear the wind whistle past your ears! She has excellent recovery time after a workout. Belle did race and that fitness they develop as youngsters has stayed with her.
My 10yo daughter was learning to ride on Belle last year and doing well. My 5yo daughter rides her around the paddock at the walk. We have been given a 14hh pony (grand-daughter of my first horse) and now Belle is that 'extra' horse that isn't being ridden.
Excellent ground manners; clips, baths, loads, great for vet and farrier. Excellent feet, currently barefoot.
