Bailey was purchased a couple months ago by a friend of mine who was told she is a beginner's horse. She is NOT a beginners horse. She is for an intermediate to experienced rider as she wants to go when in an arena and has herd bound issues. She is fine when she is in view of her buddies but as soon as you take her out of their sight she reacts & tries invading your space. I deliberately took her away from her buddies and we had a "discussion". She was then a good girl but I am an experienced horse person - she would intimidate a beginner. She is a little stubborn with her feet but not a problem, enjoys attention, is friendly, trailers very well, will stand tied forever & is basically an all around nice mare. When it comes to riding she doesn't need to be lunged first even if not ridden regularly. She wants to move in the arena but is laid back in the field. My friend was told that Bailey had been used by a previous owner as a barrel horse. She is a proven broodmare and a very well bred one. There is barrel racing, reining, roping & speed in her pedigree.
