Malibu would make a great lesson or therapy horse! She is a retired high school rodeo horse so she knows the events! Experienced youth would thrive with her. Only reason for sale is my daughter is in college now and will no longer be riding. This mare needs a kid! She is lonely. The sweetest horse we have ever owned. Needs some maintenance if being ridden consistently but can manage with joint supplements if being used around the farm. I will be picky with where she goes, she is special. No bad habits at all!
