5 year old Paint mare

Description

Secret
5 year old American Paint Horse Mare (can be registered) Dam: SAQ Twisted Rain, Sire: Alota Painted Prints
Currently standing 15.2hh

UTD on teeth, worming, feet, vaccines (5-way)
She came to me in Fall 2021 and I started her under saddle. Summer 2022 I sold her to a lovley Family but due to life circumstances they can't keep her and I am helping them find a new home for her.

Goes walk/jog/trot/canter
Goes bitless or in a bit.
Loads, trailers, ties well IF she is not overwhelmed. Has tried to pull back in stressful situations so I do not recommend tying her solid.
Good ground manners, easy to catch and good with her feet (healthy feet, she goes barefoot)

While she was with me in 2022, we have done Clinics together, gone to lots of different places and she is the same everywhere. Her/Our favorite was the Cowboy Challenge. I have also taken her on the racetrack and she loves it, it was so fun!
Have taken her to the beach, she loves the water.
Secret's current owners used her mainly for trail rides, they did mention that she would sometimes test her rider with stopping and not moving forward, under saddle or while leading. She did try the same with me day one when I got her back recently but she snapped out of it very quickly and hasn't tried since with me or my students.
She listens well to voice, rein and leg cues, can collect walk/trot but sometimes needs reminders. She will need more work for a collected canter but I am sure it will come with time and consistent work. She loves to canter and will try to jump into it from a trot before you give the cue, once she knows she can't do it with her rider she won't try and she won't if you keep her collected.
She has a great stop IF she is focused, when there are a lot of distractions she does not stand, if you still ask her she gets frustrated. That will come with more miles and exposure though because I know she CAN do it.
She LOVES to jump so I could really see her in the jumping world, I am not much of a jumper and she is still young so I didn't want to push her. I have seen her jump in the pasture and have free jumped her and just jumped the odd log on the trails and she really enjoys it. She is a lovley and smooth mover so she could also excell in Dressage or Western pleasure.
We have done trail riding and she does well. She has spooked at things but she will do a quick stop or side step and then carry on, have never had her bolt, rear or buck. I wouldn't say she is generally spooky but she is very aware of her surroundings and if she gets worried about something and you give her the time she needs and don't push, she is fine.
She prefers to lead.
Doesn't have much experience alone kn the trails but I have taken her out a handful of times alone and she did ok but does prefer Equine company.
Has been exposed to cows, quads, cars, planes, helicopters, dogs, goats, kids..
I can NOT see her in a small stall as she loves to move around and has done great in a herd environment.

Secret is very affectionate and loves attention and is motivated and smart.

I have used her for confident intermediate riders for lessons and she did well but as mentioned she will need an experienced handler to know how to deal with her when she gets worried/dramatic.
She is not hot but she can be forward.

I have had her back for a couple months now to evaluate where she's at and worked with her here and there but not very consistently.
I have had some of my students ride her, including a 11 year old that was able to handle her great.
For her new home I will still offer life long support, my focus is making sure that all the horses that find their new family feel 100% comfortable (horse & handler). I would like to meet the people interested in buying to make sure they have the same approach. Kind, fair, consistent and non-violent.
I am a Certified Monty Roberts Instructor and happy to offer a discount on any of my future courses if they would like to attend with their new four legged partners.
Lots of videos and pictures available, happy to take more if anything specific would be liked to see.
Final decision of where she will go will be up to her current owner. I am just trying to help :-)
