Additional Comments

Dutchess is a 14-year-old kind and gentle mare with a unique history. In her younger days, she was a racehorse, and I even have videos of her races on file! Since retiring from the track, she’s transitioned to a more relaxed lifestyle and has been a joy to work with both on the ground and under saddle.

This sweet mare stands tied like a statue, picks up her feet easily, leads, loads, and has good ground manners. She is 100% sound, has no health issues, and is an easy keeper.... (read more) Dutchess does well in a stall or pastured with other horses, is low in the pecking order, and does not act mare-ish around other horses.

Dutchess has an easygoing personality and has been used as a casual trail horse and family horse by her previous owners. She’s a smooth, comfortable ride with a good stop and backup. While she’s not hot-headed, she will move out when asked. This mare is not fancy broke and would be best as a trail riding, barrel, or playday horse for the family to enjoy. With more training this mare could easily transition into the discipline of your choice. She is a very smart mare and picks up on things easily. I’m currently introducing her to the barrel pattern, and she’s showing great promise as a barrel prospect! She rides bareback, lets you climb all over her, and has a truly great mind.

This mare is safe but not ideal for a nervous beginner. While she isn’t dangerous, she has a lot of power and speed when asked to move out, which could feel overwhelming to a less confident rider. She handles spooks well and maintains her composure, though she can be a bit flinchy at times. She’s generally easy to catch in the pasture but may occasionally walk off.

Dutchess will continue advancing in my training program until she’s ready for her new home.

She’ll come with a current Coggins, shot records, dental records, deworming, chiropractic work, and hoof care schedule on file. I am currently waiting on her AQHA papers to be mailed back from AQHA (they will be here any day now).

If you’re looking for a versatile, well-mannered mare with a bright future, Dutchess might just be the perfect fit. Contact me for more details or to schedule a visit!
