North Starlit Diamond
2005 16.2hh Solid sorrel paint/qh
APHA registered (I have papers)
Needs a new home, no fault of her own, as I prefer western and she prefers english.
Was asking $8k; but dropped it for a quick sale! NOW: $3,500

I won't sugar coat this mare as I want to find her forever home with the best riding partner for her.
Western or english (prefers English)
Can be mareish and has baggage.... (read more) (what 18yr old doesn't after being moved from one home to the next?)
This mare needs someone confident and experienced with soft hands!!
Has a rearing history (has been vetted & cleared) hence the need for an experienced rider. The last bad rear was when a saddle no longer fit her and she got pinched during a gymkhana run. Now she can just get light on the front from time to time when she gets frustrated.
Has fibrotic myopathy in her right hamstring; it is not painful, it's a mechanical defect.(NOT stringhalt)(Been vetted and cleared, just has a goose step at the walk)
Can get barn sour
Fine when trailered off property
She is a sensitive mare so a nervous rider will make her nervous.
Hock injections if jumping (I have xrays)
Wears front shoes.

If you have made it this far, here are the good:
Stands for vet/farrier/bathes/body clip(dorm for face clipping)
Loves to be groomed
Done Equine Affair clinics
Has been use for advanced rider lessons
Semi self loads onto a trailer, sometimes needs to be encouraged (had a bad history with trailers, I have worked extensively with her to get her to load without being sedated)
W/T/C and has been started in the W/J for WP
Has been to a xc course, and has jumped everything from water jumps to ditches, the stairs, and more with no hesitation. Has done gymkhanas for the last 3 yrs, but it's not what she wants to do (fastest time on a barrel pattern in an indoor was 16sec, New Boston, NH was a 19sec pattern). Kids have ridden her with me, riding double, and on their own bareback with a hackamore. She will test an experienced rider, but will take care of the young riders. She can go in a bit or a hack.
Just went to Equine Affair so she is UTD
This mare has buttons I still have yet to find!
