About Harper: she isn't buddy sour in any way and has never offered to kick another horse while under saddle, although she may do it out in the pasture especially with other mares. She can be mare ish and needs some patience but once you earn her loyalty, she is such a sweetheart! A perk is that she usually rides the same in new environments, making her an awesome show prospect! I think she has potential to do whatever you want. She will literally go alllll day.
Some quirks: She is more go than whoa and can be forward during the warmup; super controllable, you just need to remind her to walk sometimes. She is also push button, so not recommended for a child or beginner, although I have had beginners on her before and she did well. She has thin soles and for that reason she needs a full set of shoes (it is temporary- my farrier gave a rough estimate of a few more cycles until she can be barefoot). She is not an easy keeper but is well managed with the right diet.
