Additional Comments

Skylar is a big, beautiful blue roan Tennessee Walking Horse mare with lots of trail riding experience, wonderful temperament, and fabulous gait.

In addition to her experience as a trail horse, Skylar has been in our training program for the past 60 days where we’ve added extensive groundwork and additional work under saddle. We believe that a solid foundation of training leads to a reliable and safe horse both on the ground and under saddle.... (read more) It all starts with a good and willing horse, like Skylar.

Skylar is very friendly and connected to her human partner. She is a willing learner and picks up on concepts quickly. She’s been wonderful to work with and train due to her sweet temperament. Her ground manners are excellent and she’s very good at liberty because of her trusting connection with her human.

Sklyar has a smooth and consistent 4-beat gait and a big flat walk. She's super-fun to ride. This girl can cover some ground and stays in gait! She rides out alone or in a group. She moves forward easily and goes wherever she is pointed. She stops with light pressure and listens to her rider.

Skylar is a big and stout girl standing at a solid 15.3 without shoes, she's got good, solid hooves and great conformation overall.

Skylar’s training will continue through the fall and winter months, but she is available now at a price based on her current status and the level of training she has received. You are welcome to come meet and ride Skylar if you are interested. She is a rare find and will NOT be posted on auction! Our goal is to help Skylar be the best she can be and find her a wonderful home when the time is right. If you are looking for a great all-around trail or show horse that you can really bond with and enjoy for years, you should consider Skylar.

Below is a list of proficiencies to date. We’ll update this listing as she progresses. See the link below to her YouTube playlist. Additional videos will be added over time. We have a small set of videos available now.

Roundpens and lunges in any space with collection and speed control

Yields hind and forequarters with light pressure

Backs with light pressure (on the ground and under saddle)

Lower’s head and neck with light pressure

Flexes head and neck with light pressure (on the ground and under saddle)

Sends between small spaces

Leads and tracks at the right speed, either side

Walks up to the mounting block and stands for mounting

Rides out alone or in a group, in an arena or on the trails

Stops with light pressure, we’re working on stopping at the seat and voice command and she’s doing well

Liberty work after each session, she’s very connected to her human partner

Stands tied, ground ties, grooms, picks up feet, stands quietly for farrier, loads onto a trailer. No fear of things like fly spray!

We do work on de-sensitizing, but we work more on building trust and leadership!

Skylar is UTD on shots and worming. Her teeth were floated 10/2023. She has had a basic vet check for health and was aged at 7-8 years.
