Southern Dahlia aka “Sue Ellen” is a stunning golden palomino mare with the kind of trail experience most riders only dream about. For the past four years, she’s been a beloved part of our family, carrying us with confidence and grace through the rugged terrains of Arizona, the Ozarks of Arkansas and Missouri, and the scenic trails of Illinois and Alabama. She’s been there, done that—and looks incredible doing it.

Dahlia moves out with a buttery-smooth four-beat gait that makes long rides a pleasure. She’s rock-solid in traffic, has zero vices, and is always the first to greet you at the gate. Whether you’re an experienced rider or just getting started, if you can get in the saddle, you can ride Dahlia.

She neck reins like a pro, backs up with ease, and side passes both directions without hesitation. She’s just as happy leading the group as she is riding in the middle or bringing up the rear—and she’ll ride out solo without a fuss.

Dahlia is that rare, once-in-a-lifetime kind of horse: beautiful, bombproof, and as dependable as the sunrise.
