Temperament & Management
The Forward Ride
Good motor, even head. This horse wants to go, and mostly goes about it in an uncomplicated way. Athletic without the edge, forward without the drama. The kind of horse that makes ambitious goals feel possible without making every ride an event.
About this horse
Reining-bred and trail-used, this 16-year-old AQHA palomino mare stands 15.2 hands and has prior reining training along with cattle exposure for sorting and gate work. Her current work has been mostly trail riding for the past seven years, and the listing states that she will lope circles, change leads, neck rein, and stop from seat and voice. She is described as forward rather than lazy, soft and responsive, and best suited to an experienced rider, with a tune-up recommended to refresh earlier skills. Ground handling is a strong point, with reported good behavior for tying, loading, farrier and veterinary care, and confidence around traffic, machinery, livestock, water, and hills. A recent exam reportedly included vaccines, dental work, and clean radiographs of feet and legs; the disclosed management issue is thin soles that may require boots or pads on rocky footing.
