Luna is a stunning paint mare with a gorgeous long mane, thick tail, and really beautiful light brown, kind hazel eyes. She loves people and will whinny at you when you approach her. She has done a little bit of everything: she has been trail ridden extensively, both down in the valley and around the ranch in rockier country, and handles the rougher terrain really well. She maintains a nice pace all the way around where you're not having to kick to keep her going nor hold her back constantly. I've ponied other horses and younger colts off of her, and she does great with that. I've spent days gathering cows on her and she loves this. Luna is also riding around really nicely in the arena. She is a beautiful mover and has a natural headset at a walk, trot and lope. She picks up both leads easily, sidepasses, backs up well, and yields all her body parts softly. I have plenty of pictures and videos of her riding around and am happy to share those. She's familiar with crossing logs, little jumps, and has also crossed bridges without batting an eye. She would make an outstanding trail horse for someone looking to explore out on the trails; she'd make a great horse to use around the ranch, and if you ask her for it, she'd also have the athletic ability and speed to do gymkhana/playday/barrels/and/or endurance events. The main reason she's for sale is that I'm halfway through my pregnancy, and between her and my other two younger horses, I need to downsize so I can rest more, and Luna is ready to find her family. Luna has good ground manners and stands tied wherever, picks up all four feet politely, stands for the farrier (she has only ever had front shoes, her hind feet do great even in the rougher country and on longer days, and she has never come up sore). She loads in and out of the trailer well, and loves to be brushed and loved on. She is definitely the type of horse that bonds strongly to her rider/family and will do whatever you ask her once she knows you. Luna does best when ridden or worked with consistently; she can get a little spunky if you let her sit for a week and step on. Nothing that lunging or some time in the roundpen won't help with. For this reason, she'd be best suited to a confident, preferably intermediate or plus person/family, or someone who is working with a trainer or doing lessons to help course correct should it be helpful. For more information, please feel free to reach out to me. I have tons of pictures of her with/without saddle, lots of videos of her riding around and am happy to make videos of specific things interested parties would like to see!
