Gaited Trail Mate For Sale

Oh, Valentine! And her name surely suits her in every way. This is an absolute sweetheart of a 4-year-old that stands 16 hands. Don’t let her size fool you, she is as gentle as a puppy dog. Valentine is a very kind, loving, in-your-pocket type of gal. She absolutely loves toting the kids around, as well as any beginner who comes to visit and needs a mount. She is a well-trusted girl here, as our 5-year-old daughter absolutely loves riding her & Valentine responds with forgiveness & patience! She truly has the one-of-a-kind type of disposition anyone can get along with! She has been a wonderful mount to have for anyone who comes to visit & is in need of something safe, reliable, and kind to ride. Along with her temperament comes an extremely smooth (more whoa than go), even 4-beat gait & one AMAZING canter! Valentine has the ability to navigate trails, both steep, rocky, and mountainous areas. She has been ridden all over Eastern KY & TN by various beginner riders, double with kiddos & is the same horse whether you leave her sitting for months or ride her every day. Valentine has excellent ground manners, stands for the farrier, and stands to mount & dismount. She loves being groomed; apple and peppermint treats are her favorites. You can stall her, as she has excellent stall manners, or keep her in the field if needed, as she is a doll to catch (she would be the perfect catch for a family, too)! If you’re looking for a horse for the ENTIRE family that will take you where you want or need to go, this is certainly your gal!! ~ and for you hunters, she is also GUN fire safe.
