Do you have an intermediate youth or small adult needing a safe horse that can also win in the show pen? Cider is your girl!

Cider is an extremely versatile horse that is safe and fun to be around for the whole family. In your pocket and will do anything you ask.
I purchased her as a green broke 3yr old and took it very slow. After a couple years of reining(she knows all the maneuvers), I decided I wanted to go back to barrels and poles(1d small races, top 2d big races), poles(20 second). She had a stifle injury which has fully healed and she has been cleared by the vet with being sound but I don’t want to risk her hurting herself again running barrels. Some vets think it’s fine, others are advising against it as a precaution. So, here I am putting the horse before the sport. Could she do it again? Absolutely. But I rather not take that chance personally.
Her resume: barrels/poles, reining, trail rides(alone or in a group. Can be in any position in a group.), beach rides(she will go in the ocean), jumping, ranch riding, trail obstacles, cow sorting/penning. This girl has done it all with flying colors. She is ready for a home in a discipline that doesn’t involve high speed and fast turns. She would absolutely excel at ranch riding/versatility, competitive trail, western dressage, youth 4H, working equitation, extremely safe trail horse that will go anywhere. Because she is so fancy broke and has many buttons she wouldn’t be suited for a beginner. She is completely safe. Ride her bareback and Bridleless, crawl underneath her, drag a tarp from her, pony a spicy colt, if she feels her rider falling she will stop moving. Shes an absolute dream. Loves baths, will stand tied all day with or without friends, jumps right into a trailer and is quiet, hobbles, drinks and eats on the road. Give her months off and she will be the same horse when you get back on.

Now since no horse is perfect and everyone has a quirk or two, here are cider’s:
- she was hot nailed at some point in time so can be timid when nailing shoes. Not bad at all but needs a farrier who’s not going to go cowboy on her. She loves having me holding(yes I said holding) her head and rubbing her face during nailing and she stays quiet. Trimming she is perfectly fine.
- This girl was raised in a herd then a large paddock. So she prefers to be outside rather than a stall life. But she will do it with a friend next to her.

I would love for Cider to find a home with an intermediate youth that wants a best friend who is safe, down for any of the shenanigans but can also put her game face on and go show.
