10 year old mare

Description

Hennessy
10 year old grade QH bay mare
15.1/15.2 ish (not sticked)
Ridden mainly outdoors for the past two years in pastures, on trails, ditch riding. She rides out alone great, super sure-footed and likes to cover ground quick. Goes Western or English, more go than woah. I have jumped her over cavaletti’s, I think she would make a fun eventer or mountain horse. Previous owners had her lightly loping the barrel pattern, she’s done various clinics and arena work before. She’s a smart ride for someone with experience to take in any direction
Super easy keeper, top of pecking order. Used to cows, goats, kids, chickens, quads etc. She is great with kids who want to pet and love on her but NOT a kids horse. Nice black feet, good for farrier and has been regularly trimmed and dewormed. Teeth last done Oct. 2021
She does have some quirks which I’m happy to go into more detail about with serious buyers. She tends to default to “boss mare” mode and will definitely test boundaries, I have found she responds best to gentle persistence and once you’ve developed trust between you she is less mareish with asks. She has never bolted with me but she has crow hopped and kicked out in the lope. She has never thrown me. There was also a trailer incident last summer during wildfire evacuation unfortunately that has made her difficult to trailer. For these reasons I recommend very confident intermediate/experienced riders only
She and I have learned a lot from each other and if it were possible I would keep her, however I need something suitable for my young kids and there isn’t enough pasture where I board for both.
