Sequoia
JC: Lindalouimage
8yr old OTTB Mare | 16.3H

Relisting in hopes of finding this incredible mare the forever home she deserves. Honestly, I’m still surprised she’s available. I truly don’t have a single bad thing to say about her!!

If you’re looking for a safe, level-headed horse that genuinely enjoys her job and takes care of her rider, Sequoia is your girl!! She has the kind of brain that’s hard to find and to train into one.... (read more) She is patient, level-headed, and has been trusted in lessons with riders of varying abilities (has never been the type to intimidate or overwhelm someone who’s still learning)

Although Sequoia is not a finished horse, her attitude is what sets her apart. She learns quickly, retains what she’s taught, and approaches every ride with the same willing mindset.

She is more of a push ride than a horse that needs to be held together, making her a wonderful option for someone looking to gain confidence while still having a horse with plenty of potential.

✔ WTC both directions
✔ English & Western
✔ Beginner-friendly temperament
✔ Excellent confidence builder
✔ Push-style ride
✔ Loves barrels and enjoys having a job
✔ Trail rides
✔ Leads, loads, ties, bathes, clips, and stands for the farrier
✔ Excellent ground manners
✔ Quiet, respectful, and easy to handle
✔ Sound and currently in regular work
✔ UTD on everything

Sequoia is the type of horse that fits into almost any program, whether that is English or western. While she is versatile enough to do a little bit of everything, barrels are where her personality really shines. It’s the one discipline I’ve truly seen her get excited about (hopefully I can get some updated videos of this soon). She also has the potential to continue teaching beginner riders or all-around partner.

Please Read: Sequoia does have a calcification that will be discussed with serious buyers. It has never limited her while I’ve owned her, and she has remained sound and comfortable even in more demanding work.
