  Whinnie- 3yr 16.1 h draft cross mare that is just stunning! I imagine she is a percheron cross of some sort but really athletic and light. She was raised from a yearling and nicely started by her connections. Once again I will say this horse is just exceptionally well started with one of the best brains you will find. She does all the age appropriate things that you could ask for in my opinion and does them perfectly. She has been produced the way we would all want our horses brought along and it shows. There is not one step that has been skipped.

I have been so impressed with her coming in here just like it was all no big deal. Excellent for shipping, grooming, baths, turnout, stall, etc. Super relaxed. Great manners. Quiet as they come. It was hard to get her interested to put her ears up for her photos because she really is just totally relaxed all the time.

She has now had several rides here for us and even was tried by a horse shopper looking to buy some sales types and they LOVED her. Thought she was just so special and remarked on how lovely she was going. She is just a horse that will go anywhere and everywhere. She is extremely confident in herself. Zero drama. No buddy issues. No young horse gate leaning tendencies. Lunges like a total professional. Super quiet to hack around on a loose rein on the buckle. You can w/t/c her and never pick up your reins and she just stays in the balance. She is also stretchy and will make a cute little shape over her back if you would like that. Her transitions are already so smooth and balanced. She also has an extremely good whoa on her. She knows voice commands. She stops if you just sit up. The type that I believe inspires confidence as she just feels so solid under you already at her age.

We took her out to the jump field and once again just perfect. I mean so perfect I had to text her connections and say please can I place my order for 100 more of these thank you very much. Seriously though anyone can ride this horse. I imagine this is what most of my horse shoppers are hoping to find and might just overlook because she is just a 3yr. I would encourage you to judge her more on her temperament/brain than the age because you simply cannot make them this way. She just popped around all the jumps like she had done that a million times. Happy to trot or canter. Just quiet. Then walks around quietly on a loose rein just no fuss.

Three of us stood there talking about her as she finished up saying they simply don't come around all the time like this one and we feel like we see enough/ride enough to truly quantify that statement :)

Sound, barefoot, no vices, etc. I think she is darn perfect in my book. I would hunt her tomorrow and honestly just might take her out soon but want to hit the trails first to make sure I set her up for success. She is unflappable in the way you just know she is going to handle the chaos. They either are or they aren't. They tell you who they are if you listen.
