I purchased this mare for my son. She has ended up being to much horse for him. She is more go than whoa horse. She needs an intermediate rider. She has a fast walk and wants to move out on trails. She's good in an arena and likes to work. She has been patterned on barrels and poles, been highlined, loads, bathes, stands for farrier (could be better), good for vet. She's very social and loves attention. She can go out by herself but doesn't like being left behind.
