This is "NOVA" a very gentle, quiet natured and unique LEOPARD APPALOOSA MARE that anyone can ride. This mare stands 14.3 hands tall and is 10 years old. She has been ridden by youth and beginners with no issues. She is a nice horse that any level rider can tack up, hop on, and go riding with no issues. She lopes off with no hump and no buck, she stays broke with time off, and she is super quiet to be around on the ground. She has been through the deep water, in the mountains, and through the stream beds. She is a nice horse that is great to have around to put anyone on and enjoy a ride. She has also been in the pastures around cattle and has ridden through the exotic herds as well. She is not spooky, she unloads in new territory and rides as if she has been there many times before, she does not care if dogs trail her heels, and she is traffic safe. This mare is a very solid and honest horse that the whole family can enjoy. She likes a job, enjoys attention, and will go anywhere she is asked to go in a group or alone.
