Mare
16h

I can't say enough good things about this mare. Neither can anyone that sits on her! This mare is very agreeable and wants to please. She is one of my favorite rides right now in the barn. She is a point and shoot, confidence builder type over fences. She has never refused or ran out of a line. She is lovely and easy on the flat. She is not your typical mare and truly doesn't mind being told what you want her to do.... (read more) She is HAPPY to do it. However, if you give her an inch, she will take a mile. It's best to make sure you draw the line in the sand from the moment you get on. She can also have a bit of separation anxiety but works out of it quick and easy. This girl is the same if she is worked 6 days a week versus once every 2 weeks. I've pulled this mare out of her field after a week of not being worked on the first chilly and rainy day in Virginia and she was a DREAM. The same thing happened after her 2 week Christmas vacation, it was a chilly morning and she went around nice and quiet for one of my adult re-riders. She. Is. GOOD. She would be incredibly ideal for an adult amateur who wants to do a bit of everything but only can only find saddle time a few days a week (but could also come out and visit almost daily to groom and give her treats). She loads, clips, bathes, ties, loves to be groomed, hacks out alone or with a group, does fine off property, she has foxhunted in a past life, loves treats, is barefoot currently (but will get shoes in the spring), lives out, and is an easy keeper. She has had her hocks, stifles, and front right fetlock injected recently. Her rads show an OLD and SMOOTH bone chip in her front right fetlock that several vets (including NC State) said does not bother her, but does have some effusion in that joint (reason for the inj.). I know for a fact whoever ends up with this horse will be incredibly happy! $15k
