UPDATE: The pinto found a wonderful perfect home. 2 horses left; a palomino 4 yr old green broke mare and a 2 yr old palomino. The 4 yr old: 14 hand 4 yr old mare, palomino, loads, leads, trims, hobbles front, sideline hobbles, hind leg hobble, tie out long w/o getting tangled, lifts her chin up for me to put lead rope on (!!), puts her head down to get pet on the face. (latter two things she taught herself), faces up, generally not spooky, comes to a whistle, obeys words 'move over', 'back', etc. will load in any trailer, easy to catch. She is green broke to ride and has been ridden in the woods, but must be re-started. She's been out to pasture 4 months. Nice short back, small muzzle, finer boned, strong hooves. Dark golden color in summer. Cons: She is VERY sensitive. Like touching her mouth. But I've learned with her it is more a defiant thing and as soon as I tie her super short to deworm her, she accepts it no problem. Will need a no nonsense owner without being abusive. The 2 year old: same ground work as the 4 yr old including hobbling. Been sat on and turned in place circle once. She is now ready to start riding. May mature to 14.2 plus. But not super tall. Dark golden coloring in summer. She is kind of lazy, not sure if she will mature the same or be a fast horse if you want. Likely would make a jumper.
