Seeking the right partner for a very special mare.
WindDancer (“Winnie”) is a registered Spotted Saddle Horse I purchased as a green 3-year-old from McNatt Farms. Over the past 8 years, she has developed into a well-trained, seasoned trail horse with extensive real-world experience.
In July 2025, we certified with Mounted Patrol, completing a rigorous program that included:
• Opening/closing gates
• Riding in all group positions (lead, middle, drag)
• Crossing obstacles, Z forward / backwards
• Dragging logs, cans
• Exposure to bikes, sirens, and firecrackers
She has been ridden hundreds of miles through Morgan Territory Regional Preserve, regional and national parks, and the High Sierra backcountry over raging waters and steep granite. Winnie camps confidently in groups, and adapts to new environments with ease. She is sure-footed and loves the trail.
Personality & Fit:
Winnie is intelligent, expressive, and engaging—a true “sweet diva.” She is affectionate, curious, and always the first to meet you at the gate. She ground ties, high lines, and has had some liberty work.
She is also a sensitive, forward mare who requires a confident, experienced rider. She responds best to clear leadership and will take advantage of inconsistency. Because of her sensitivity, she can mirror handler energy (for example, during loading), so a calm, assured presence is important.
Care & Condition:
• UTD on vaccines, dental, and farrier
• Stands well for routine care
• Experienced with bodywork
Why Available:
This is a thoughtful decision. Winnie has been an incredible teacher and partner. I am now transitioning to a different horse better suited to my current needs, and I am committed to finding Winnie a home where she will continue to thrive.
