Cricket is a super sweet grade POA mare. We got her at auction as a winter project. She is easy to load/haul/unload. She will stand tied or in cross ties all day but may paw a little if she's been there a while and she thinks it could get your attention. She is SUPER easy to catch (even when you are trying to catch someone else). She is great for the vet and farrier; we have always had her barefoot.
Cricket has been ridden quite a bit on our trails and we have hauled her to a local state park as well. She Is quiet and inquisitive and not spooky. When something startles her she may turn to face it but does not take off or panic. Honestly we have been trail riding her bareback most of the winter. She likes obstacles once she has a chance to think about them for a second.
Cricket is coming along in the arena but is still a bit of a project. She will walk. trot, canter without much fuss (if its been a while you might get a little crow hop going into the canter). She is working on coming onto contact and is figuring out how to be softer in the bridle. She would make a super cute little hunter or English pony. She loves to be with you and is happy to put the work in most days. Occasionally she can be a little on the lazy side and needs a little stronger leg. We have not jumped her due to her age but about a month after coming she got cornered in her dry lot and jumped a 4' fence pretty easily to escape.
Cricket is a super easy mare to have around. She is middle of the pecking order. Likes to make faces at those that challenge her but doesn't really do much about it if they ignore her. She has not be marish or nasty when in heat. Currently on free choice grass hay with a net and no grain.
I would love to find Cricket a home with a youth or small adult looking for a safe project. She's not mean at all but has had a few 'baby brain' moments that needed correcting. With her being young I would not sell her as suitable for a beginner at this time. I definitely think that with time and experience she will be an amazing kids mount. I list her as kid friendly in the skills section as she has never given me a reason to doubt her. This does not mean she is the right mount for any kid out there. Height is a guestimate (We've measured her twice and for some reason it won't stick in my brain), happy to measure her again for anyone interested! Price is negotiable for the right situation. If she doesn't sell we will keep her and continue training. She does toe out a little in the front and currently has a little extra winter chub.
