We rescued Pepper last year from a kill pen, we have been riding her ever since. she has never offered to buck or bolt and is not at all spooky. Good ground manners, ties, loads, bathes, good with farrier, no vices. Does have mild myopathy on left rear but it causes her no pain and needs no special care. Pepper has been used for beginner lesson and she loves to trail ride. rides English and western and bareback.
