Miss Ebony is a 17 year old mare that has had four foals in her lifetime and is truly an amazing mother. Ebony is broke under saddle but not finished in any particular direction. She is sound and offers a lot of try when experiencing new things. She is sure footed and strong. She has a solid walk and trot under saddle but the canter is still needs work. She strongly needs consistency. Under consistent work she does wonders and Ebony loves working. When she gets time off (sitting in a stall or pasture for longer than a week) she can be a bit mare-ish. When Ebony gets time off and then asked to work she will throw little tantrums like throwing her head about and refusing to canter; she can be lazy and needs extra motivation. That being said, she is a lovely mare that craves all the attention of the world. She will stand all day for brushings and pampering. I purchased her from a family that had children riding her bareback around an indoor arena. She loves children and knows how to take good care of them. She is great for the farrier also. She takes her annual vaccines without flinching and dewormers like a champ. She is currently barefoot and has super strong hooves. When regarding maintenance she doesn’t require much of anything. She is being fed a blend of alfalfa/orchard hay morning and evening and gets ½ pound of grain with horse guard supplement in the evenings (grain isn’t necessary I just want to spoil her). She maintains her weight very well and I would consider her an easy keeper even with a foal on her side. I have not bred her but can have her covered to a Friesian stallion (this spring/summer) if interested for an additional small fee. She is located in Aumsville, Oregon. Delivery is possible depending on location. Will deliver anywhere in the state of Oregon. A good home is a must and I would love to stay in contact with the new owners if possible.
