Born wild on the range to a buckskin mare, this filly was brought in as a weanling and has been growing steadily ever since. She's currently around 13 hands, with an expected mature height of 14.2 to 15 hands based on her dam, who stands 14.3. DNA typing traces her back to gaited horse breeds, though she hasn't shown any signs of gaiting so far. She'll likely be a smooth ride once she's older. She's also started coming in with a few gray hairs, so she may gray out as she matures. She already has a solid handling foundation: catches easily, leads, ties, bathes, blankets, and picks up all four feet without fuss. She can be reactive occasionally, but it's usually the reasonable kind — something genuinely startling, like a dog appearing out of nowhere, rather than spookiness without cause. She currently lives out in a large pasture with a big herd, caught daily for supplements but otherwise left to just be a horse, so a little refresher on her manners wouldn't hurt. She'd suit a first-time mustang trainer or owner well. She's close to a blank slate with no bad habits to undo, she isn't a fence-jumper, and she doesn't need any special setup.
