Horses like this are rare.

Thoughtfully bred, allowed to fully mature before starting and ridden with the intent of creating a well-rounded, go-anywhere, do-anything kind of horse.

Calia is a kind, beautiful, sound animal that is a pleasure to be around, fun to ride, and beautiful to watch.

Ridden western in the Californio style, she works nicely in a hackamore or two-rein. She's gentle enough that I've also ridden her bareback in a halter.

Her feet are strong and she goes barefoot nicely.

She grew up in a pasture with lots of room and other mares but also does nicely stalled on her own.

She is currently continuing her training in Santa Barbara, CA.
