Star had 90 days professional training under saddle.
While she was at the trainers, she was only ridden in the arena and she wore a Western Saddle with a snaffle bit. She requires a gentle approach to girthing and will not tolerate an ill fitting saddle or an English saddle. She stands still while the rider gets on and gets off.
She walks and trots easily in both directions and has a nice quiet head set. She needs more time under saddle on the trails, which we hope to get done in the next couple of years. We have ridden her around the property since coming back from the training barn. She took rabbits jumping out on the road and ducks flying up from a pond better than some horses. But like most young horses she will spook and refuse to go forward at her own personal choices of obstacles. She requires a confident quiet rider that will use the approach and retreat method to work her past a trail obstacle.
Star is not for sale, but like our other show and breeding mares. We like to have them be able to ride out on the trails.
