Very sweet mare, who comes with baggage. Extremely cold backed, currently unwilling to take an adult rider. We have used chiropractic and massage with her. Supplements for muscles, healthy feeding program suggested by vet with no startch and low sugar. Vetted with no glaring issues.
We have backed her walk/jog with a very confident youth rider, ponied around with another horse walk/jog, extensive ground work and handling. Mounting is her issue, she has major tells with face muscles and eyes. As soon as your foot hits the stirrup she blows straight up with an adult. When ponied we were able to mount her from the ground she did go to buck but hit the end of the line and stopped right away. With a person on the ground we are able to mount her with a mounting block, seems if she excepts the mount you can go on and have a ride.
My mind still takes me to an issue with her withers … but no evidence to that effect.
Very solid, pretty head and well built mare. Would be a nice brood mare for someone with a breeding program. Or great companion horse that’s easy and sweet to be around.
Currently turned out with mixed herd, not agressive lower in the peking order. Hay only diet, doesn’t need grain. Easy with farrier, cross ties beautifully, bathed with easy, loves grooming, easy to work around, excellent ground manners. Currently Outdoor 24/7 is a blanket destroyer. Seems content in a stall as well, as long as she has a friend.
