Meet Honey (KTM Silver Star)! Honey is a gentle, sound, six-year-old registered silver dapple Morgan mare with sixty training days and two summers out on the trails. She moves solidly at the W/T/C and (may) be gaited but hasn't been DNA tested. She has not be trained in driving but her natural high action and stride would make her a good candidate. Her primary discipline at present is endurance and trail riding with one completed LD (25 miles) this summer. Honey is athletic, highly intelligent, and friendly. She has no dangerous vices like bucking, pulling back, rearing, biting, etc. and stands for the ferrier, loads and unloads easily from a trailer, and saddles and takes a bit without fuss. What I love most about this mare is that she is level-headed. She's very bright and I have yet to have her spook hard on the trail or be reactive in a tight situation. I credit that to her mind, which is superb. She's fairly mellow except when tied out alone - she gets anxious and needs to work on building patience. Fortunately, as long as she has her person, she will comfortably ride out alone. Honey needs a job and a person of her own to love. I believe she can be a solid endurance horse with conditioning - she's built perfectly for it but Honey isn't as forward as I prefer for my mounts so I am looking to find someone who loves her more mellow temperament. She could be a great prospect for dressage, a junior jumper, or anything that requires a great mind. An intermediate or advance rider is recommended.
