Additional Comments

Minnie head off the farm for her first field trip to go xc schooling and she totally rocked it! We hadn't yet had her out so I figured well let's just see how she handles everything. She was so relaxed and could have happily spent her time eating grass :) Fat girl at heart!

Minnie is really just impressing me!!! Minnie is a 6yr 16h percheron cross mare that I imported from Canada. She had been nicely started in the ring, hacking out, etc.... (read more) Obviously up there she had more indoor riding than outdoors but she just looked like a very nice athletic type of mare.

She has been absolutely amazing since arriving. She wasn't very fit so obviously we are taking our time but talk about such a cute cute mover! She is a bit inconsistent in the contact still but to be expected for where she in her training at the moment. She really makes such a nice shape in her body. She is one of those draft x's with nice substance that takes up your leg but isn't super huge either. She is easy to really put together and so fun to ride. She is just absolutely stunning and we are just essentially starting to get her fit. I swear each week she just gets stronger in the work and it shows in her video progression.

She is also a super duper cute jumper both in the ring and over the cross country jumps. She really has a ton of scope and I think is going to be one that easily should do novice/training. She is brave but still super quiet and rideable. More the type you have to put your leg on but still has a great motor.

She absolutely loves trail riding and is so relaxed out there. Definitely think foxhunting would be perfect fit for her as well.

We discovered she hadn't had experience with spray bottles so that is still a bit of a work in progress :) She is getting much better so I think we will have that all normalized for her shortly. She is super duper sweet. No marish. Barefoot, sound, no injuries, no vices. Great in turnout, stall, cross ties, tacking, mounting, etc
