She has been handled right since day one and carries the kind of foundation you want in a young horse. She spent six months with Becky Hurst, during which she developed a solid, confident start. ** Mountain-ridden** and has packed salt ** Easy to catch, good-minded, and settles well in a herd**** Straight-legged, correct, and a pleasure to ride** Banka has a big stop and naturally hunts the stop, both heeling and breakaway. She spent all summer breakawaying, and heeling, and nothing rattles her. She scores like a rock, handles pressure like an old seasoned hose, and stays quiet, steady, and smart. She is the same horse every day—no drama, no fuss, all business. This mare is ready to go to work and take you straight to the pay window.
