Dixie is a friendly, buckskin, family safe morgan mare. She sells with her 4 month old colt at side, he is a fancy 3/4 morgan, 1/4 friesian. She has been trail ridden by everyone ranging from a confident 6 year old, to never been on a horse boyfriends and husbands, and grandmas :) She is a forward mover and not a dead head, so she isn't a beginner horse for everyone she works with confident beginners with supervision. She has extremely hard black feet and barely needs trims, has never had shoes and isn't bothered by rocky trails barefoot. She is as tough as nails! She can walk, trot, canter in the field and on trails but she has zero arena experience and I don't think she would take to it. She loves trails. She had her first foal this year with an uncomplicated pregnancy and delivery and is an excellent mother. We started riding her again when her colt was 6 weeks old and she never missed a beat. Her colt, Sparky, has seen more trail miles in his 4 months of life than lots of adult horses! He leads, loads, trailers, ponies from other horses (not just his mom), picks up all 4 feet and knows how to handle his feet in the mountains and has been swimming! Dixie is a boss mare in the pasture but that translates to being a great trail leader (although she's fine following too) and rides out alone with no problems as long as she knows you/you've earned her respect first (she is a mare and I say that with all due respect). SHe's not like a typical, easy-keeper morgan, she can use a few extra groceries in the winter and when she's nursing a foal. I'd be happy to chat about her all day! Feel free to get in touch and message me with questions. Her photo album can be viewed here : https://photos.app.goo.gl/MVz3psNXCxoKa5as9
