Check out this mare! Penny is a 2016 AQHA ranch riding machine.
She stand 14.2-3h.
Mounted Shooting trained. Obstacles.
Trail.
I’ve taken care of her for the last 1.5yrs. She very easy going and low in the pecking order.
Her current riders are 16 and 12, but she is not being presented as a kids horse or for a beginner rider.
She is rated, quick on her feet, has buttons, and a motor. Although on the trail she is content to poke along, she will be sh*ttin’ and gettin’ up the hills. Which is fun if you’re into that kind of riding.
Current owners are infrequent riders. This horse is not a horse who can sit and then be ridden casually. Penny would be best suited in a home who rides with regularity and consistency.
Shoes in riding season.
UTD on everything. Zero maintenance. Call me for more information.

A friend of mine runs a rescue. These mares were 3, but one perished on the journey to safety. These girls are probably pregnant and in dire need of care. The rescue has a list of needs—used, new, shipped or man power—they need it. I plan on volunteering girl power and help get the word out the mounting needs. $$ can also be sent directly to the Vet to help lower the bill.

This 90 seconds short struck me. I’ve watched it many times and can relate to the frustration of dealing with a difficult person; Especially one who recognizes my flaws over my accomplishments.
This holiday season and throughout the year, consider the other’s point of view and see their world through their eyes. It might just change your perspective into perception.
God Bless

Creativity has the power to change the way we see each other, and the world. Sometimes, seeing things through a new lens can make all the difference. You mak...

Never knew it was a woman who knocked Custer off his horse. FIND YOUR HERD.

Pretty Nose :A Fierce and Uncompromising Woman War Chief You Should Know
Pretty Nose (c. 1851 – after 1952) was an Arapaho woman, and according to her grandson, was a war chief who participated in the Battle of the Little Bighorn in 1876.In some sources, Pretty Nose is called Cheyenne, although she was identified as Arapaho on the basis of her red, black and white beaded cuffs. The two tribes were allies at the Battle of the Little Bighorn and are still officially grouped together as the Cheyenne and Arapaho Tribes.
On June 25, 1876, a battalion of the 7th Cavalry, led by George Armstrong Custer, was wiped out by an overwhelming force of Lakota, Dakota, Northern Cheyenne, and Arapaho.
There are many stories that come from this most famous battle of the Indian Wars. However, the most overlooked account is of the women warriors who fought alongside their male counterparts.
Minnie Hollow Wood, Moving Robe Woman, Pretty Nose (pictured), One-Who-Walks-With-The-Stars, and Buffalo Calf Road Woman were among the more notable female fighters.
Pretty Nose fought with the Cheyenne/Arapaho detachment.
One-Who-Walks-With-The-Stars (Lakota) killed two soldiers trying to flee the fight.
Minnie Hollow Wood earned a Lakota war-bonnet for her participation, a rare honor.
Lakota Moving Robe Woman fought to avenge the death of her brother.
And Cheyenne Buffalo Calf Road Woman holds the distinction of being the warrior who knocked Custer off his horse, hastening the demise of the over-confident Lt. Colonel.
Pretty Nose's grandson, Mark Soldier Wolf, became an Arapaho tribal elder who served in the US Marine Corps during the Korean War. She witnessed his return to the Wind River Indian Reservation in 1952, at the age of 101.

A mentally stimulated horse is more likely to be attentive, responsive, and less prone to behavioral issues.

Mental engagement is crucial for several reasons:

Prevents Boredom: A bored horse can develop negative behaviors like cribbing, weaving, or even aggression.
Enhances Learning: A mentally engaged horse is more receptive to new lessons and commands.
Builds Trust: Mental exercises often require the horse to trust the handler, strengthening the bond between horse and human.

It why we like to introduce horses to games like pushing a big ball or drag a sled with a huge stuffed lion or working any of our permanent obstacles.
Even horses that never ride outside the ring can benefit from changing it up a little from the normal routine.
Happy Trails
FIND YOUR HERD.

New horse coming for evaluation and placement. Check out “Chance”.
*update: Chance is available for his new family as a easy going trail or arena horse. He has maintenance of shoes with pads for thin soles and arthritis comfort. We recommend he be on a joint supplement too and have pain management consult with your vet. Requires Prascend for Cushings.
He is a class act—hauls like a dream. Stands for everything. Western dressage trained. He’d be a great entry level walk trot horse for a beginner. Smooth as silk and easy to ride. If you don’t like him—he goes back to his original owner.
