Looking for your future all-arounder or have aspirations for a specific discipline? Siouxsie is ready for the next person to bring her along. With her lovely movement, she will shine in any direction. She is a willing mare with a solid foundation put on by experienced trainers. She is with me on consignment to find her the perfect home.
Siouxsie competed in the 2024 Wild to Mild TIP Challenge and has remained with her trainer ever since. She rides english and western, she is soft in the bridle and has correct body control and good brakes. She has jumped a few fences under saddle and was brave and careful with her feet. Sidepasses, backs up, turns on shoulders & haunches, leg yields. She loves obstacles and is brave going over them; she is still new to some of the things shown in the videos (dragging, picking up and carrying flags), but was very willing and with some more practice will be quite confident.
Siouxsie has scored 66% at training level dressage, shown in the 2'3" jumpers accomplishing a clear round, and schooled over starter and beginner novice cross country including ditches, banks, and water, all very bravely. She is the same horse off property, great for hauling and standing patiently at the trailer.
Her groundwork skills are solid: she trailer loads, stands for the farrier and the vet, and stands tied. Stands to get tacked up and lunges all 3 gaits staying soft on the line and responding to voice cues. Good for grooming, fly spraying, baths.
Siouxsie would be suited for an experienced rider as she is green. She is still building confidence and she takes a bit to build trust with a new person. As such, Siouxsie does well having guidance from a confident leader, and consistency is her best friend.
