Kit Kat aka Diva fell on hard times last year when her previous owners let her health maitenance get behind. Her teeth abcessed clear through her jaw and it took months for her get back up to speed with weight and body conditioning. Kit Kat is best suited for the trail with a competent, middle aged, youth or adult rider experienced and comfortable getting after a horse. We have found she responds best in a hackamore or snaffle on a loose rein. It doesn't seem that she was ever a finished bridle horse, but she does have some training. She is forward on the trail, covers a lot of ground, and crosses water, goes through unstable ground, and blazes her own trail in the right hands. She enjoys hearding cattle and riding out with other horses and on her own. I think she could excel in pleasure and equatation classes. She would probably be great in low level jumping. Doesn't seem to have any soundness issues for her age and station in life.
