Mia is a 10 year old argentine thoroughbred mare who has been a polo pony for professional to total beginner players. She is a beautiful, classy mare with a very comfortable w/t/c, and she is safe for any level of rider. She has lots of fun buttons including flying changes, stops/rollback, and she has great collection and is very quickly learning great connection to the bit. She straight reins and neck reins, and moves wonderfully off the leg. We are retiring her out of polo because we found some arthritis in her right front pastern and do not want to push her in a sport that will make it worse, and we are hopeful that she can have a great second career as a pleasure or lesson horse. We have been giving her equiox and annual cortisone injections as maintenance and she did great on those- she was sound playing polo through this winter. Mia has been used as a lesson horse in polo and would be a fantastic lesson horse for any barn with a wide range of rider abilities. She is available for lease-to-buy or trials before purchase to ensure that she will work for you in a program! Mia does best in a stall and has no vices. She gets along with other horses and is the same ride every time, whether she has had time off or is being worked regularly. She also trailers well and does well in new environments so could be great for shows! This horse was purchased for a significantly higher price 3 years ago, but we want to find her the perfect home that will take care of her maintenance needs, so she is being offered at an 80% discount.
