I have an older grade mare. When her teeth were floated last fall the vet said she was 20. Needs intermediate rider. She is a forward mover. She needs someone more experienced to ride alone otherwise intermediate rider if she has a buddy to ride with. She is middle of the pack with two geldings and alpha with my one gelding. She knows her stuff but will push a beginner. Loves to be groomed and rinsed with a hose.
