I have owned Poppy for 6 years. She is calm but confident and does awesome with trail or arena work. Would make an awesome youth horse or lead line horse or horse for therapy program. She has laminitis but is sound at all gaits. Takes Equioxx for maintenance. You can pony off of her as well and does fine in front of middle or rear of the pack. Confident enough to be in front. Has ridden trails in Cool and Folsom Lake. I weigh over 220 pounds and need a larger horse for my size. She is a sweetie! Trailers great!
