Since acquiring her when she was only four, I've utilized Magdalene for both trail riding and ranch work, and she consistently excels in every task.
Her composure shines through in high-pressure situations, like during cow catching, where she remains calm and collected. Magdalene is adept at roping, holding the rope tight, and even dragging cows on the trailer, all while maintaining her composure against agitated animals. On the trails, she thrives, confidently navigating obstacles and diverse terrain. She's encountered a variety of wildlife, including deer and turkey, and readily goes wherever asked. Whether it's steep slopes, deep creeks, fallen trees, or rugged paths, Magdalene navigates with surefootedness and grace. Her versatility extends to her riding skills, as she can lope in circles, take her leads, stop on command, and back up smoothly. Even in traffic, Magdalene remains calm and safe, unfazed by cars, semis, or heavy trucks. Her positive attitude towards every task makes her a truly exceptional horse.
