Riderless Horse in TX 78942
Riderless horse in TX. Almost 15 hand (14.3+), true black, 8yo mare needs a regular rider. She accomodates alot of leg, but at 5’7", I feel too tall for her, torso-wise, and have no plans to ever show her, myself. I have other horses to ride, and am not making the time for this one. She is WAY TOO fancy to just sit in my pasture, although she DOES look good out there.
She’s had HJ training, and has cute form over fences, and has been ridden out on ranches, jumped over logs and ridden through creeks. That said, she is not for beginners, and requires a confident rider because she gets snorty and looky when ridden out. She still goes where you ask, but she needs a confident rider to help her feel safe in doing so. When ridden irregularly, she is rushy during the warm-up, often trying to break into the canter, but I almost never longe her first. Just get on and go, but be prepared for the rushy stuff at first. Then she settles down and goes to work. When ridden regularly, the rushy stuff seriously diminishes.
I’d love to find a smaller (5’ - 5’4") rider who needs a project to ride, school and hopefully show. She is fancier than most of the horses I’ve seen at local HJ chooling shows, and many of the horses at rated HJ shows. She’s not tall, but she is a lovely little package. She’d probably do well in dressage because her extended trot would rival a nice WB’s. With a little refresher, she should be able to go out and do REALLY well. With some cross country schooling, she might even make a nice eventer with a confident rider.
Anyway, she’s available for the right rider to play with.
