This filly, who is in her 4 year old year, is a quiet, lovable, and huggable horse. She’s been trained in a foundation for Reining or similar western disciplines, and she’s been ridden in a way that prepares her to be ridden one-handed and neck reined.... (read more) She’s not easily spooked and is easy to catch in a pasture. On the ground, she’s learned to walk beside or behind her handler, and she prefers to walk behind. Move her shoulders with a soft touch all the way around in a 360. Back her up and steer her. You can back her up in different ways, like wiggling the lead rope or pressing her nose. Sidepass her on the ground by waving a stick side to side. Lower her head by pressing on her pole. She’s also had some hobble training with sideline and front leg hobbles. She stands for the farrier and can load in a trailer. She stands tied and can be mounted from either side. You can also use a fence rail or mounting block to get on either side. She’s trained to stand until told to walk off. She’s also been desensitized to things like a rain jacket, rope, stock whip, and plastic bags. She can go from a squeeze of the legs to maintaining whatever gate she’s told to be in. She can walk, trot, and lope on a loose inside and outside of the arena. In the arena, she was trained to rate the rider’s seat. She’ll slow down from a trot to a walk or from a lope to a trot or walk based on the rider’s position. She has four different cues to stop: one rein stop, pull back on both reins, the word ‘whoa,’ and by reading the rider’s body position.
She’s got three buttons on her sides, one for her shoulders, one for her hips, and one that moves both at once. She can move her shoulders while walking, trotting, or loping. She’s also trained in a basic spin and rollback. She can move her hips from a standstill and at the walk and trot. She can sidepass from a standstill and 2-track at a walk or trot. She can be bridled up and collected at the walk, trot, and lope. She’s been ridden on both leads. She’s had a lot of training backing up under saddle and can be steered while backing.

She’s been ridden all over the pasture and in the trees. She’s even ridden around some farm equipment. She’s trained to walk over a bridge obstacle. She’s practiced opening and closing a gate. She’s ridden through water and up and down hills, where she was taught not to rush going up or down. She’s ridden around and pushed cattle. She’s not scared of cattle, but she likes to chase them. She can be ridden away from other horses by herself and doesn’t try to hurry back home. Her temperament is like what the Appaloosa’s are known for.
