Juliette is a super friendly, people-loving horse that greets you at the gate, and never walks away from you when you want to catch her. She has lovely ground manners, and is quiet to tack up, load, shoe, bathe, and trim. Juliette has a good mind and has never offered to do anything stupid like rear, buck, or bolt. She has an easy handle, and is smart and willing.
Juliette is naturally gaited, so there are no issues to get her to gait or keep her in her gait. She will flat-foot walk, and she has the smoothest, most comfortable foxtrot ever! And you can push her up and she will do a super smooth running walk and, she is never pacey and, she has a beautiful lope. She has a fast trail walk, but she will also slow down and walk with your non-gaited friends, too.
Juliette has many miles on the trail, and crosses water, bridges, dead fall, and negotiates steep and difficult terrain confidently. She has always been careful with her footing, and she is very smooth downhill. Juliette has been trail ridden in Utah, Arizona, New Mexico, and Missouri; she is good in a group, or alone. And just for fun we have taken her through some obstacle courses, and she went right through everything, including the teeter totter. She backs, side-passes, stands to mount and dismount at the mounting block, and opens and closes gates.
This pretty girl has always been up to date on worming, vaccinations, and dental care, and never any lameness or health issues.
Juliette is a good girl, and is NOT stupid, flighty, or high-strung; nothing much bothers her, and is not prone to spooking. However, she is not for a novice and is best suited for a confident, intermediate and up rider. She is a lot of horse and has the "go" when you ask for it. If you are looking for an experienced trail horse that will get you to the top of the mountain...
Juliette is a real beauty and I get compliments wherever I go. I have owned her since she was 18 months old. I purchased her because at one time I owned and showed her mom. I certainly have mixed feelings about selling her and pray she will be the right "fit" for someone out there. (Please note she was not completely shed out when photos were taken).
Thank you for considering Juliette as your next trail partner. (Additional videos upon request)
