ISO a Unicorn 🦄

Safe Reliable, gelding or mare to work up the levels in dressage. Looking for a horse with confirmed flying changes. Client has no real interest in showing, but does enjoy clinics, hacking out thru the field and routinely goes trail riding.

Temperament is KEY - the horse must give their rider confidence and be able to tolerate a rider that gets anxious at times. Easy to trailer and be enjoyable to be around. Horse will be winning the lottery with a 5 star home with a very experienced horse owner, who is committed to a long term partnership and care plan for retirement.

16.2h +
Under 15 yrs old
No vices
Age-appropriate maintenance is ok
X-Rays on file
Budget: Mid to High 5s

We are looking for a fun, versatile, and safe horse... Please show us what is available in Western Canada and PNW down to Southern California.

Trip Planned to southern California April 19 -24
Picture for attention.
