**THIS HORSE IS LOCATED IN CLOVER SC**

Mariposa is an 8 year old Andalusian/ Quarter Horse mare standing 15.2 hands high. It is impossible to not fall in love with this sweet natured horse. There has not been a time where we were not impressed by her kind and quiet demeanor and her brain, in every new situation she has been in. From the trails, to dressage training, being started over fences, hunter paces, and even cross country schooling, Mariposa has spoiled us with her willingness and good attitude, no matter the task at hand. She is safe for any level rider, kids or your grandma, and can be finished in absolutely any direction.

In the ring, Mary is currently in a dressage based program where she is schooling first level tests. She is working on collection, very basic lateral work, and transitions. Mary is more whoa than go, and can definitely take a joke. She has very comfortable gaits and great brakes! We have started her over small fences both in the ring and out cross country, and we are so impressed with her form, bravery, and how honest she is when faced with new things. At 8, she is still learning how to balance, keep a rhythm, and carry herself, but the ability and talent is all there, ready to be brought along! We cannot stress how good her brain is and how tolerant and forgiving this horse is. You can always train the upper level movements and add to her education, but you cannot train a horse to have the type of good attitude and gentle nature this mare has. A great way to sum her up is to say, she has the talent for the show ring, yet is safe enough to be used in a therapeutic program.

On the trails and off property, Mariposa is a dream. She will hack out all day on a loose rein with no cares in the world. Absolutely anyone can take her on a trail ride. Saddle her up for your grandma, neighbor, the kids, or husbands and guests. Mary crosses all obstacles, goes through water, and is safe riding along the road with traffic. She has even been ridden into town and through the drive thru for lunch! She is used to going to new places for lessons, to school, or to go on trail rides. She is safe and easy to load into the trailer, trailers well, and stands tied to the trailer to get ready. She has been to lots of new places when we go off property for lessons or clinics, and quickly adjusts into her new setting and goes right to work. She does not need any lunging or prep, just hop on and go.

In the barn, Mary can be handled by anyone. She can be groomed, bathed, and brought in or out from the field by the children. She is great to clip and bathe, and is a solid citizen for the vet and farrier. She is the type that can be ridden every day or once a week and will be the same ride. She can live inside or out, an
