Zoe is a fantastic mare. She comes from champion bloodlines top and bottom, and in the first two generations. Including the top producing sire, HBF Iron Man. Her dam was a talented show horse, earning my daughter her first 5 buckles in her first two years of serious showing. Zoe spent a year with a trainer. She is spur trained, leads and flying leads to die for, and can practically jog in place. At the same time, she can stride out and offers and big floaty trot in English. Both her lope and her canter are capable of bringing her all the way to Oklahoma City. At home, Zoe is a dream. She has a temperament of about a 2. Will pack kids and beginners a like. She has been used for some lessons, but not in a program. The only issue that we are dealing with Zoe is her inexperience in the show ring. She does have some issues with anxiety at shows. The owner has her own show anxiety and the two don't mix at shows. That is the reason that she is for sale. I have ridden her at shows. While there is an issue to be dealt with, it is not difficult to overcome. She actually behaves pretty well inside the ring. Her anxiety is an issue when she is waiting for her turn to go. With more time in the ring with a confident rider, she will overcome this issue. Videos of her at shows, at the trainer and at home are available on request.
