This beautiful mare was purchased for a beginner rider who does not have the time or skill to be an appropriate partner. Lady is a great horse, sweet and sensitive and very smart. She is also energetic and needs steady work. Her gaits are smooth as silk and she is fun for an intermediate or advanced rider to ride but not suited for beginners. I keep thinking she would love a job moving cows in the mountains, or riding trails a few times a week, even be an excellent endurance horse.
