Ruby is a 4 year old AQHA bay roan mare, willing to please, in your pocket, smart and a smooth mover. Solid w/t, can use a little work yet holding a canter under saddle. Lunges nicely, free or on a line. Stands quietly to be tacked, good for the farrier and vet, up to date on vaccines with a negative Coggins. Ruby had 60 days training last spring, was ridden over winter by my 10 year old daughter in the arena and is ridden by my husband on trail rides currently. She can be cold backed and sensitive to seat and leg pressure so she’s best suited for a confident rider, not a beginner. Ruby loads and trailers well. Rides out by herself or with a group, will lead or follow, crosses water, rides through mud and over logs. She prefers to live out but is stalled during inclement weather. Ruby would not do well stalled 24/7 as she is too energetic and can be high strung if not given appropriate room to move around and run off energy. She lives with a mixed herd, respects fencing and is easy to catch. She’s an easy keeper and maintains well on hay/grass. No vices or bad habits, we love her but she’s too energetic for the occasional trail ride. She can really go in any direction-gaming or cow pony as she’s catty and quick on her feet, could even be a western pleasure prospect with regular work.
