What a gain for Colorado and a loss to a state that does not IMO appreciate it’s people.
I got her from the training stables at Green acres ranch in Temecula. The contact was Katherine Rich-Elzig. The sales video is here

Her name ‘was’ Lady of the Dark’ I changed it to ‘Enigma’ her Barn name is Annie.

I went down, saw hger fell in loved with her sweet nature but I made every buying mistake that could be made. (did not ride her, should have questioned the martingale and slow twist snaffle bit that they put her in to show her to me, I did not PPE, just got a cashiers check and picked her up two days later)
She is the most sensitive mouths I have even owned and not in a good way.
Annie was more horse than I was ready for. She tried to please but she was fragile, (not like a flower, fragile like a bomb) she would buck if the slightest contact was taken.
I wish I knew what the prior trainer did.
I put her in full training in December and the trainer started her from the beginning again in a leather bit

(she chews through those in about 3 hours ride time or so. She goes well in this bit

My trainer is using it on her and Calabasas can’t get any more because of the virus.
I think I am just rambling now.
