I have had Sophia from a yearling and cannot speak highly enough about this girl. This girl is for anyone who loves a versatile, fun, simple, experienced, and uncomplicated horse. She has the best mind of any horse I’ve had. She’s the same horse with daily rides or a year off. Just jump on and enjoy! She is suitable for adult beginners and youth beginners with supervision. Sophia was broke at age three with 120 days of training. She can do all the things: side pass, lead changes, halts, ect. It’s been a while since I’ve made her do arena work but she has done it and can do it. She has been used as my “friend horse” because even at three she was so calm and toted adult beginners around on rides with ease. She has mainly been used as a trail horse and has done some amazing technical rides. She has 100s of trail miles with many beginners on her at walk, trot, canter and even the occasional gallop. She has camped, high tied, highlined, hobbled, trailer tied. She has been in parades and twice did the run down for the natives at the Ellensburg rodeo (one year in the arena after the walk down jets and planes boomed over head and she did nothing—with a new to her rider). She has been to clinics, competed in several endurance intros. She is not touchy or spooky. She’s the horse you could throw anything on her and she’d be fine with it. She crosses water, bridges, bathes, ponies off of and ponies others, she clips, shoes, and trims well. She loads like a champ. Her feet are hard and strong. She was bred at 5 and had one correct baby. She took the first breeding and had her foal with no assistance. And her foal was GORGEOUS! She IS gaited. She has a gait from both parents—foxtrot, running walk, and a pace. Her gaits are not finished but she naturally picks them up. She canters beautifully and has a nice gallop. She is the full package!
