Taco is a Registered all around easy going mare. She is very soft and responsive to cues, walks, trots, canters, both directions on cue, picks up correct leads, works very well off leg pressure, side passes. She is so sensitive to her cues you can ride her without a bridle. She has a big stop, roll backs, she would make an awesome using ranch horse, I've thrown a rope off of her, roped the dummy, but not a live calf. I've drug cedar trees, barrels, cracked whips, nothing seems to phase her. You can climb all over her and under her and she just stands there. I was told she ropes and I wouldn't doubt it, but I'm not a roper. She trail rides like a dream, will lead or follow, crosses water, fine with traffic, heavy equipment, etc. She is a finished barrel horse but can get hot in the gate so not for a beginner as far as competing in barrel competitions, but anyone can walk, trot and canter her around. She is super safe and I am still using her for my intermediate students for riding lessons until we sell her. She is good for farrier, vet, bathes, has excellent ground manners. Can't say enough good about her. I have videos I would be happy to send.
