UPDATE: link below for video. Rhythm can be sold this summer. I have more in training. She rides/drives, ponies others, packs, drags the arena, and more. She is easy going and trustworthy. She 'seeks out' the bridle and the hame collar when I saddle or harness up! I've had a few mustangs do that, but not all of them will. (like reaches down and opens her mouth and takes the bit from me!! And shoves her head into the collar!) Such an amazing little mare. Easily carries 200# at a lope. I've never ridden her at 'hyper mode', so maybe she would if you want hyper. She loves people. When she was barely broke to ride, I took a shovel with me and was stabbing thistles while in the saddle. Sometimes under her belly as well as lifting shovel over her head to get sticker plants on the other side. Sure it is an unusual job, but I like putting my horses through unusual stuff. She also helps me trim tree limbs while under saddle. She shoves her head through the neck hame collar and actually seeks it out when I bring it to her! Traffic safe including log trucks and loaded lowboy trailers. She is super friendly, but respectful. She helps me tame new wild horses. The grulla pinto Tilly will be head honcho when Rhythm sells and she will be ponying new mustangs. So much more I could say. She is a Paisley desert mustang. You can watch her here on a video I uploaded 7-14-23 https://youtu.be/fza7_6X0sGU I put a solid foundation on my horses with ground work and respect. Trained ones are not cheap; I put a lot into them. Currently I am working four. The 3 yr old pinto learned how to ride/pack/pony 2 others/get gates in saddle/drive and more when she was 2 yrs old. Never worked very hard, but done under a solid foundation. The 2 yr old grulla pinto is now being very lightly ridden/ponys the other one and is ground driving. Will be pulling a small cart w/o person this summer. Both the above are small horses at 13-13.2 hands. I teach my horses many words; Gee, Haw, Wait, OK, Whoa, Jog, Walk, Back, move over, pick it up, put your head down, head up, Don't, Good girl and more. They also hobble front, tie out by a hind, face up, face up w/o ropes at the same time and work together moving over and such. They also come when called.
