May of 2025 we bought this grade mare for our daughter for her 16th birthday. Her horse had gotten older and had to be retired. My daughter has ridden other horses over the years that I would have personally never gotten on and she loved those horses.
This mare looked to be everything she would want to just jump on and go. However, the 2 of them just have not meshed well. Our neighbor who is 16 loves her and she seems to love him. She is really a different horse with him. But they already have a lot of horses and aren't looking to add another one.
Here is everything I know, the good and the bad, It is all here... I want this horse to find the right fit, she is Young and she deserves to be someone's project.
🐎 She is 7 years old
🐎 she is grade
🐎 She is easy to catch
🐎 She stands great tied
🐎 She stood all winter and was good first time out this year. Has been rode very little this summer.
🐎 She was ridden all last summer through mountain trails
🐎 She is spooky
🐎 She is not a mean horse at all. No bite or kick
🐎 She is horrible with her feet. She needs a trim and will most likely need to be drugged.
🐎 I believe she needs some ground work refreshers and some trust built.
She does much better with a confident rider. My daughter is a pretty confident rider, loves to go fast, but she just can't get over a nervousness she has with this mare. I really hoped they would click, and that's why I have waited over a year to list her.
I also have a newer phone and don't have videos or a lot of pictures, but I am happy to get more upon request.
We paid $5k, but have reduced the price as we are hoping to move her soon, as we have another horse for my daughter now and this girl needs her own person. Open to reasonable offers.
