I am selling Candy because I need to thin my herd. When I purchased her two years ago, I had a Pre Purchase Exam done. That included X-Rays of her stifles and feet. She passed the exam with flying colors. Candy is triple registered: Rocky Mountain, Kentucky Mountain, and Gaited Horse of America. I have enjoyed having Candy, and she has been my main trail riding partner. She is smart, athletic, and safe. She would be excellent for a teenager because she has a lot of go, but she would also be great for an 80-year-old, because she has no spook. I've taken her over long, narrow, slippery bridges, through long dark tunnels under the freeway, into water, in traffic, bicycles, e bikes, cattle, between farm equipment...cranes, tractors, water trucks, trash trucks etc. My 80-year-old friend rode her a few months ago. We were riding along a lake when all of the sudden, a flock of geese flew out of the grass in front of us. Candy didn't even blink. She didn't miss a step. On the trail, she is safe, safe, safe. Candy has more go than whoa. She will stand still as long as you ask and is ready to go when you ask. I rode her for six consecutive evenings in the Grand Entry of the Prescott Frontier Days rodeo in July. The second night, as we were riding out of the arena, the first responders were coming toward us to drive into the arena. There were fire trucks, ambulances, and police cars. All of the vehicles had their lights flashing and coming straight at us! Candy didn't miss a step. Candy has a nice, fast paced walk, gait, and canter plus she one-hand reins and move moves nicely off the leg. I use a vacuum to groom Candy. She stands beautifully for the farrier, has good feet (I use front boots but no shoes), loads in the trailer, baths, ties, high ties while camping, and has no bad habits. If you need a horse to take you out and bring you back safely that has the athletic ability to ride the Bryce Canyon, one that doesn't bolt, buck, bite, kick, or have a mean bone in her body, then you want to look at Candy. It goes without saying that she will ride off the property alone or with other horses. She has no fear of dogs, people, or houses. I think she has worked cattle in her past. She tries to go toward them when we are out on the trails, but I don't know her back story. All I know is that someone in her past has put a lot of time and love into her.
