Been there, done that, fancy broke! She is solid, sound, and can cover some major ground. More GO than WOAH. Intermediate rider and up as she’s very soft with lots of buttons. If you ride her like she’s green, she’ll act like she’s green. Ride her like a broke horse and you’ll have a heck of a broke horse who will go anywhere you tell her without any funny business. Boss mare in a herd unless there’s a top dog gelding, but has been with many different herds of mares and geldings just fine. Ride her around a stud and she doesn’t act any different than normal. Roughly 15.2hh - I have to measure her, but she’s a big solid girl. Rides in a bosal, snaffle, or bridle. Throw a neck rope on her(or don’t), and she rides bridleless just as well as with a bit. Neck reins, steers, and stops off your body. She bends, and yields her forequarters and hindquarters. Side-passes, will pick up the lope from a walk, collects off leg. She can get HOT, it’s important that her rider can control a spicy horse especially if you bring her to a few barrel races. She walks with a purpose down the trail, so if you’re looking for a slow lazy walk she is not your girl. Lays down by voice command from the ground or the saddle. I’ve high-tied her and camped multiple nights, completely by ourselves(no other horses or people) in the middle of the northwoods. Trail ridden 20+ miles day after day, she’ll lead or follow. Rides out alone. I’ve ponied off her, I’ve drug calves for castration and used her to help gentle mustangs and do colt starts. She’s tough and gritty and can go all day. You won’t wear her out. I’ve tied an ice fishing sled to her saddle, sat in the sled and used driving reins run through the stirrups to have her pull me around. She crosses water, you can jump her (no promises that she won’t knock it though 😂), she’ll carry a flag. And so much more!
