This mare is outstanding! If you're looking for a proven and SAFE carriage horse that you can also ride all over the trails, farm, neighborhood, or in the parades, here is your girl! She has a perfect stop and stand for loading and unloading carriage passengers, she is responsive to all voice commands, she is safe in all kinds of city traffic, sights, and sounds! Fire trucks, ambulance, police lights, vehicles, and sirens, huge trucks flying past, blinking Christmas lights, barking dogs, this mare is SOLID!!... (read more) She will pull all kinds of farm equipment, she'll work single or double. She will walk across railroad tracks, speed bumps, road paint, grates, etc...with no problem pulling a carriage full of passengers through the cities or neighborhood. She rides over anything you encounter on the trails. She's not buddy sour, she will work or ride just fine with other horses around, or go out alone with no problem. I can't say enough good things about this horse! She could easily transition into fox hunting, eventing, CDE, mounted patrol, etc...or use her for trail riding, Christmas or wedding carriage rides, Funerals and pleasure driving! She's UTD on worming, teeth, and has a current negative Coggins. This horse will stand tied, lead, load, stand stalled, stand for tacking, back into the carriage shafts, stands for hitching perfectly!! She has excellent ground manners, is not pushy on people, fences, stalls, gates, etc... no kick, bite, buck, rear, or bolt!

She is a flashy, fancy mover, and built solid too! She's a good mare and will make someone a fun working and / or riding companion. She's currently barefoot and picks up her feet very nicely for trims, cleaning, shoes, boots, etc... She's currently in pasture with free choice hay and grass, comes into a stall for daily feedings, has been pastured with mares and Geldings and gets along with all but has been the Alpha with all I've had her with.

Aged at approximately 15 years by the dentist and stands at 16.2 hands. She's a good solid horse with a good, willing work ethic. Not necessarily for beginners, as she needs a confident leader, though pretty much anyone can drive or ride her and I have video of an 11 year old beginner driving her for Christmas rides in a neighborhood. She's a good fun girl, and she'll do everything asked of her. Feel free to come check her out, or I can help arrange transport!
