19 y/o Mexican Sport Horse mare | 16.2hh | Belmont, NH
Discipline: Flatwork only — lower level dressage schoolmaster

Gandara is 19 years young and all business. She’s not here for braids and spa days — she’s here to teach you how to ride.... (read more) If you love precision, connection, and the feeling of a horse who actually listens to your seat, she’s your girl.

What She Offers:
✅ Schoolmaster brain: Confirmed lower level dressage, thrives on correct riding

✅ Feel: Sensitive, responsive, rewards tactful + consistent aids

✅ Soundness: Flatwork only, maintained for her job, still has years to teach

✅ Personality: Classic mare. She’s sweet and will be very affectionate once she likes you. Don’t take it personally if you get the cold shoulder at first. Earn her trust and she’ll give you her whole heart under saddle.

Who She’s For:

An intermediate, confident dressage rider who wants to refine their skills without a $30k horse budget. She’s not a kick-ride and she won’t tolerate sloppy aids — but if you ride her well, she’ll make you feel like you belong in the show ring.

Not for beginners. Not for fussing. For learning.

Facility: Spacious indoor + outdoor arenas, heated viewing area, restroom, hot/cold wash stall, heated/AC tack rooms

At 19, Gandara still has so much to give the right partner. Come learn what real dressage feels like.
