Melody is a special 17 year old registered/certified Rocky Mountain mare. She is 15.1 HH and is a big stout mare. She is an exceptional trail horse that takes care of her rider. She does not buck, rear, bolt, kick or bite. She stands quietly for saddling, mounting and dismounting. She is up to date with her vet care, farrier and has a current health certificate and coggins. She has been hauled long distances (loads and unloads easily and has no issues with new places) and she has been ridden in many states in the US, including Utah, Missouri, and Louisiana. She is great to bath, clip, shoe, and fly spray. She will carry you through rivers, over logs, through mud and up and down steep inclines and declines. She is used to hikers, cyclists, dirt bikes, atv’s, logging trucks, machinery, etc. she also rides well with dogs as we have a heeler we take with us. She is naturally smooth gaited and can move out at a walk or gait which she likes to do. She will ride anywhere in the group but her preference is to be in the lead. She is not spooky. She will spook in place if something startles her. She is a dominant mare but asserts herself fairly with her pasture mates. She does not have any marish behaviours. She is a forward ride and likes to move out, therefore we feel she requires a confident rider. She has no vices. She would likely excel at trail obstacle courses as well. We are selling our Rockies as we have moved in a different direction. Please feel free to ask questions or request video or photos. Serious enquiries only please. Melody is currently on Vancouver Island, B.C.
