My intention was for her to be a family riding horse. She has been lightly started but not been backed consistently so listing as a restart project, she hasnt been backed since summer. She needs consistency, she was intended for my kids and husband to ride/work with but she is more of a one person horse, needs that bond to develop trust and because of this I'm casually open to parting with her. She also isn't thrilled with the rest of my herd who are young fiery horses.
-stands well for farrier, but does require a slow hand
-UTD on deworming and farrier
-bottom of the pecking order
-more easily caught with treats
-requires a quiet slow handler, it's all about trust and calm with this girl
-no required maintenance, benefits from a probiotic
Easy keeper, has grown quite a fluffy winter coat but is lightly blanketed. No grain or maintenance, barefoot.
She very willingly lunges, and happily free lunges. This also has helped in very windy weather when she's reluctant to be caught, she will free lunge for a bit and then approach to be brought in. She does not like cross ties and is more comfortable on a secured lead. Farm sounds, bikes, snowmobiles, kids, tractors, nothing phases her except wind and she is nervous of new people.
Our indoor arena is out of use and I feel like I'm doing her a disservice having her on a less structured routine in the winter as she does like having a job. She also would thrive more in a herd with other more relaxed horses. Listing to see if there's a more appropriate home for her. I'll continue to work with her and will keep her as a personal trail horse if one cannot be found.
PPE welcome, I cannot help with trailering. Open to trades, I'd love another mustang, lightly started at minimum.
Located north of Barrie, lunging videos available in Google drive link above.
