Dusty Rose has been the perfect pony for my son but unfortunately he has outgrown her. She makes a great trail pony, no spook, you can rope off her and she loves cow work! Dusty has been shown in ranch shows and WSSH.
Dusty loves to have a job so I wouldn’t recommend her as a “babysitter” or lead line pony. She is fancy and smooth in all 3 gaits and “fun to spin” my son says.
The first year we had her (spring of 2020) she had a laminitic episode caused by a spike in her insulin. That has not caused her any lameness issues; I’ve just since kept her on a dry lot, low sugar/low startch diet and 1/2 dose of insulinwise.
