Patches has pretty much seen it all. She has been a lesson horse for small (and large) children/adults.Been a trail horse for most of the time I've owned her except for when she was being a lesson horse for about 2 years. She has 1,000's of miles on her in all kinds of country. She has dabbled in everything from barrel racing ( not her thing ) to jumping and everything in between. She wasn't fond of jumping either. She will do anything you ask if you know how to ask. She is a basically pull out of the pasture, get ready and ride kind of horse. She would probably excel as a one owner 4-H horse. Had new shoes put on 11-12-2024 so she is ready to ride. Easy to shoe. She is one of 3 horses and being just one person, I have a hard time keeping them all ridden and maintaining them and yes I have lots of age on me too.
