"Starbuck" is an 8 year old mare who I've trained exclusively with Clinton Anderson's Method. She's been trained from Fundamentals through Advanced as well as the Hobbling series. She is a quiet western pleasure bred mare who is the kind of horse that I've trusted with beginners but who knows all the buttons for a more advanced rider. She is incredibly safe and can sit for several months and still be a solid horse when you climb up on her again.... (read more)
In the arena, she neck reins, moves all 5 body parts in basically any combination, and knows her leads. She has that wonderful western pleasure trot and a beautiful collected canter. I've ridden her bareback and in a halter without any trouble. Out on the trail, she is as bombproof as any horse comes. I've desensitized her to everything I can get my hands on to include tarps, plastic bags, and leaf blowers. She has impeccable ground manners and gives no trouble with any handling. She's been hauled extensively and has no trouble with the trailer. She may be quiet, but she has a ton of personality and comes running for dinner time. She does have several scars from previous injuries so she may not be the best for showing, but she is 100% sound with miles and miles under her feet. I'm happy to provide pictures and encourage a vet check before purchase.
She would be perfect for someone who knows Clinton Anderson's Method or wants to learn it and is looking for a safe and reliable horse who already knows all the right answers. She is truly a gem that gets comments all the time for her good behavior and exceptional training. Please reach out if you think she might be a perfect fit for you!
