This girl is looking for her own person to adventure with!
Hope
15.3hh 14yo beautiful paint mare available for sale.
This is a very hard decision, and a very special mare.
Hope is my go to reliable steady Eddie school horse. She’s trained through 2nd/3rd level dressage but prefers being a deluxe trail mount, ranch horse (she’d need some brushing up) and all around safe riding horse. She is soft in the hand, has smooth, comfy sure footed gaits, Rides well ba****ck and bitless, Rides out alone great. (She is deaf and not herd bound). More whoa than go, but can get a motor when asked. Not your next timed event horse.
I've known her for 7 years.
She's excellent, safe, solid, take her out anywhere and get right down to business type of horse.
She's been in the mountains on hunting trips and was excellent. Was successfully shot off but has not done so in the last 7 years.
She’s a good egg and bonds with her person well, although I wouldn’t call her a snuggle bug.
If you are clear, fair, and have a plan she is there quietly waiting for you every step of the way.
She prefers an intermediate rider but takes excellent care of my beginners. She’ll go to her default plan- walk and look over at me- if she isn’t being directed by the rider. She’s a work smart not hard kind of gal, but if you ask her to do a job she’s ready to help.
She's very sensible, not spooky. Goes out alone, doesn’t mind heavy machinery, used to small children crashing into the arena fence with bikes,ect.
Hope is a mature, smart and willing partner. I’ll be sad to see her go and would love to keep contact with her next owner.
Hope will go to an approved home only.
I love this mare.
