Dahlia is a leggy 16.2 paint/thoroughbred cross that I've ridden both English and Western and intended to show in dressage but never had the time. I have put many miles on her to get her light and responsive, she is very soft in the mouth and moves off your leg nicely without spurs. Dahlia has a lovely forward trot but can slow to a nice jog when collected and has a smooth ground-covering canter/lope. She has impeccable ground manners, an affectionate disposition and is not mare-ish at all. No vices, shoes in the front and barefoot in the back but has been shod on all four feet before. Dahlia does best with consistent riding and is not happy standing in a stall for weeks at a time. Can be anxious in new situations but settles quickly with a confident hand. Recommend intermediate rider because she does best with a quiet rider and can get fast and athletic. Potentially a great broodmare prospect, her sire is a black tobiano homozygous stallion.
