Kizzie has been restarted WTC and over poles. She is happy and willing to work, and she does whatever the rider asks of her. Kizzie is an easy snaffle ride. By her 3rd ride, I was able to drop my reins to the buckle and Kizzie remained at the same pace in both the trot and canter. I am able to sit, say woah and she will drop down into the lower gaits. She always starts out forward, but after a few transitions, she settles into whatever pace you would like to set. 11/10/24: Despite it being cold, and drizzling during our ride, Kizzie was such a good girl. Listening really well to my seat and leg. We began the introduction of cross-rails and flower boxes near the jump- she popped right over them without hesitation. 11/16/24: Kizzie went to her first horse show at Bucks County Horse Park the In-gate eventing. Despite it being cold and super windy, she did try her best.. She was still really tense after warm-up going into the dressage ring and she scored a 49% for the USEA Starter test. For her first horse show, it being cold and windy, she was really good. With more time and experience, she's going to make a great little event horse. Kizzie is currently being treated for ulcers - she is girthy when being saddled. She is also sensitive with certain brushes, and will let you know if she doesn't like a particular brush (tail swishing, ear pinning). Despite her sensitivities, she enjoys head scratches, nose kisses/hugs and tons of treats. Kizzie stands on crossties for bathing and grooming, and Kizzie stands great for the vet and farrier. She is currently turned out in a group of mares. Kizzie ties and loads on/off my trailer easily. No Buck, Rear or Bolt. Kizzie has clean tight legs and no vices. She is barefoot and sound, and no career limitations and can go in any direction, in any ring or discipline! Kizzie did have bone chips removed at Mid-Atlantic on July 5, 2024. She has never been lame or taken a lame step since surgery. Kizzie is still green, but easy enough for a Junior or Amateur. Kizzie needs a confident and non-timid rider.
