Ariel is deaf. She’s not spooky and I find deaf horses so much more attentive to riders cues! She is a reliable trail horse or arena horse. She’s not fancy trained other than stopping with seat cue and no rein back up. Ride in a halter and bareback if you want! Smooth gaits, easy to saddle and bridle stands for mounting and dismounting would be good for youth or adult. She loves trail rides, gets along with any horse. Good in a stall or pasture. Handling her is no different than other horses. She could easily be a kids horse. My novice friends ride her easily in the arena or on trails. Loads right up into the on her own! She just had her teeth floated, vaccines including west Nile and rabies. She’s got great feet and is barefoot currently doesn’t need shoes. Only selling due to too many young horses that need my time. In training with www.treadsoftlyhorsetraining.com until sold
