Temperament & Management

The Thinker

The Thinker

Engaged, responsive, and always a step ahead of you - in its head. Has opinions, and the sensitivity to express them. Needs a rider who shows up with a plan and follows through consistently. Rewarding when the communication clicks; confusing when it doesn't.

About this horse

$14,000 USD Disciplines: Dressage, English, English Pleasure, Equitation, Hunter Under Saddle, Intermediate Rider Recommended, Natural Horsemanship Training, Pony Club, Started Under Saddle, Western Dressage Avonlea is a super sweet seven-year-old Andalusian cross! She is sensitive and sensible. She has been in training with an FEI dressage rider. We took her to her first dressage show last spring; she showed training level 1 and 2. She got 66% and 68%, first time off the property. She had a few wiggles and tension, but overall, it was a super positive experience, and she had a great time. She was shown also last September Training and First Level and gained more confidence and did really well. On her first trail ride, she wanted to lead out most of the time; when she got uncertain, she would stop and let the other horse lead out. I also brought her to a clinic off property and I simply led her around one lap hoped on and had a fabulous lesson. She has mostly been an arena horse. . I could easily see her doing jumping with the right person and training. She is starting second level work. She has a few X-rays available and low maintenance. Needs to be on a Vitamin E supplement. She bonds with her person so she would do best with someone who has experience with horses. She means the world to us and looking for the best home possible!
