Meet "Tilly"! Tilly is a 4 yr old (5/10/20) sturdy 15.1 hh Gypsy Vanner/Paint mare located in Racine, WI. This cross gives her a little more bulk to fill up even a taller rider's leg (I'm 5'10" and feel comfortable), yet she is light enough to have well balanced and athletic gaits. Professionally, lightly, and correctly started walk, trot and canter and has never offered to buck, rear or do anything naughty under saddle. Tilly knows how to do a turn on the forehand, side pass and leg yield, and is starting to learn shoulder-in. She has also been through a jump chute and jumped in hand over small cross country jumps including a ditches, banks, logs, coops, tires, water and loved it. She is currently about to start some light work over fences under saddle. Tilly has a wonderful brain and has been very easy to train. Lunges, ground drives and has done pole work. She has been trail riding and was exposed to walking over bridges and riding on the road with bicycles, cars, people and dogs passing and handled it all calmly. Loads in the trailer well and has gone on many field trips to clinics. She has recently also been to an Equine Trail Sports in-hand event and a dressage schooling show and was very well behaved at both, and won all 3 Intro classes at the show. Tilly is a barn favorite and loves hanging out with people, resting her head on their shoulder, and "helping" anyone who visits her paddock. Easy keeper on a ratio balancer, barefoot and lives outside. Tilly is non-mareish and is a delight to work with, truly the sweetest horse I have ever met. Ready to continue her training in any direction. While Tilly has a great brain and is very levelheaded, she is still a young green horse, and is recommended for an experienced rider, or intermediate rider working with a trainer. Starting at low 5 figures, and flexible for the BEST home. PM for any further questions. https://www.youtube.com/@encompassequine
