I'm going to beg my parents to let me try her out! She is perfect! The adoption fee is $800 right? Me and my best friend want to share a horse, we are at about the same level and she seems perfect:)
Lol i love how he/she canters right after that little jump. he/she is sooooooo amazing and cute, wish I cud ride him. (sadly i can't because I'm not gonna buy a horse )
Yes, she can jump full courses. She is still somewhat green over fences, so no, she doesn't yet know auto-changes or how to change leads over fences. She definitely has that potential, though, and would probably pick it up pretty quickly. She's very talented.
Great! My mom is going to call in and ask if we see her once the snow melts! Does she get strung out over courses or does she stay relatively calm (for an ex-racehorse)?
@horsequeen4life She does pretty well for being young and green. This mare loves to work and tries really hard. With the right rider, she'll go so far. Our trainer, Sara Nyman, can talk to your mom more about the specifics when she calls. Good luck! :)
@astargirl101 She has dealt with stomach ulcers since she arrived, but they are under control now with 1/4 tube UlcerGard every morning. Other than that, she is pretty healthy. Although right now she is dealing with an abscess in her right hind foot, but that should be cleared up in another week or so. :)
She does not need spurs or boots, but we use both on her. The spurs are used just as training aids. The bell boots are extra precaution against throwing her front shoes. The splint boots are just for protection. She is off the track, so she can be sensitive to leg/seat/hands, but she's very calm under saddle for being an ex-racer. She wouldn't be suitable for a beginner, though. :)
We'd consider an intermediate rider someone who is solid and secure at the w/t/c and over fences on a well-trained horse. Beginner is still learning any number of those things, advanced is someone who can do all of those things on a green horse.

Can she jump courses? Does she know how to change her lead over the jump?

How is her ground personality?
astargirl101 2 years ago
Her ground manners are decent, but she does need more of an advanced handler, only because she gets impatient and antsy somewhat easily.

does she need spurs? or boots? is she calm?

More specifically, Javie would be best suited for an intermediate to advanced rider. She can be forward when she wants to be. :P
