You have an opportunity to bring this pretty girl home next week! Saturday June 24th at 1:00pm, a great selection of green started mares will be available via competitive bid in Franklin TN at the Extreme Mustang Makeover. I will be competing on this 5 year old Oregon mare, Heathen and would like to tell everyone a little about her!
π₯ She is easy to halter, lead, and tie. Stands for vet and farrier, picks up all 4 feet, has really good strong hooves. Good for baths and grooming and respects your space. Never pushy.
π₯ She loads in any trailer and loves to go off property. Rides fine in a busy arena or on the trail! Very little spook, and when she does spook, it's minor.
π₯Rides walk, trot, lope. More GO than whoa. She is forward and you don't need to ask her twice. Favors a confident rider as she anticipates and is sometimes an overachiever in the arena.
π₯ She has stamina for days. You will get tired before she does! Would make a fun endurance mount.
π₯ Rides in a rope halter, loping hackamore, bosal hackamore, or snaffle. She prefers the hackamore currently and will need more training to soften to the bit, so not for a beginner rider just yet. She is green with about 50 rides, but if I have another month or two with her, she would be incredible. If you don't have a loping hackamore, there will be a shop selling them at the show and I can show you how to use it.
π₯ Knows basic body control cues. Will yield hindquarters, sidepass, pivot on hind. She is very responsive to leg, and you could really have fun training her to be a ranch pony.
π₯She has a cute butt.
π₯ Absolute trail BOSS. She loves the trails, goes over bridges, thru water, brush, rocks, you name it. Used to loud traffic, bicycles, other horses, wildlife. Will lead or follow and has a nice forward walk. Ready to go as soon as you bring her home.
π₯ You can open and close gates on her either push or pull.
π₯ Gets along great in a herd and makes friends with and grooms everyone, but is tough enough to stand up for herself and reprimand bullies, and is protective of timid horses. Definite "mom" vibes and very nice to have around.
π₯ Does not test fencing or jump and is safe to be turned out in regular fencing. She is fine to be turned out full time or spend time in a stall.
π₯ No allergies or sensitivities that we have found. She has eaten bermuda, bahia, orchard, alfalfa, and fescue no problem. No insect sensitivities, even in Florida, but has worn a fly sheet and mask..
π₯ She's one of the good ones!
Hauling available back south. Don't be afraid to bid just because you're in another state! I would love to continue training this mare after adoption and will offer discounted training to her adopter.
