A large and generous mare, she will be a real asset to our stud. She has the temperament we like- easy to have around, trainable and tons of character - all this despite minimal handling in the last 3 years, all we do is 6 weekly worm drench and pick her feet out (she trims her own feet - just like all her siblings).
