Dutchess, a.k.a. Ducky, is an est. 6 year-old, 14h, SA BLM Mustang mare born to the wilds in Nevada and now lives in Montgomery County, MD. We adopted her just after she was gentled a few years ago. Ducky was put under saddle properly and has been in training since and has ribboned several times since her first show in 2023. This is one smart horse.
Training/riding: Ducky has a good foundation in dressage, moves with elegance, and can walk/trot/canter comfortably on the bit.... (read more) She has been introduced to leg yields, shoulder in, and turn on the forehand.
Ducky has been started over fences and has trotted and cantered cross rails and verticals up to 2 feet. She has also done a lot of groundwork and is very comfortable in the round pen and on the longe line.
She learns and adapts to new surroundings quickly. She has placed 1st [twice] in the past year and additional ribbons. She performs even in unfamiliar surroundings. Ducky participated in an October "spooky" obstacles clinic this past fall and impressed us.
Temperament: Ducky is an absolute sweetheart and not “mareish” at all. She is very kind on the ground and has never offered a kick or bite. She has never given a buck, rear, or bolt under saddle. Ducky has been on trails and has always been very brave; she even led on her first-ever trail. However, she is still young and green and can be spooky (manageable). Because of her age she would not be suited for a complete beginner but is safe enough for intermediate and up.
We see Ducky as a great mount for an ambitious teenager/petite adult. I could see her as an awesome pony club mount.
Strong preference given to a rider that would keep her in a program. She will not be shown to minors without a trainer also present. Ducky is up to date on vet, farrier, and Coggins. She is barefoot and overall healthy with current coggins and UTD vaccines. Her price is negotiable for a perfect home. (BLM paperwork available to buyer; no approval required for her purchase). Feel free to contact with any questions.
