2009 APHA Mare

Ruby’s a beautiful chestnut mare with a loving personality to die for. Stands while tied, loads in the trailer like a dream (only in slants), falls asleep while the farrier’s doing her feet, meets you at the gate, whinnies when you call for her, bathes nicely. She has a few wiggles at first with cold water, but as long as you start at her feet and work your way slowly up to her shoulder and back, she’ll be okay. Has a lovely slow walk and jog, can extend for English if asked. Has had some previous work at the canter, but needs more time. Will walk through puddles and water with some encouragement. Is not herd bound, though can be a little fussier when by herself. Gets along great with other horses, low on the totem pole. Prefers having buddies instead of being alone. She’s okay with other animals, not sure about cows. Dogs are not her favorite, but if they leave her alone, she’s fine. Has show experience in Snohomish County 4H. Was ridden both English and Western in Beginning Green Horse. At her first show she received Green Horse English High Point, two 2nds, two 3rds, and one 5th. Can be messy in stalls, but is a good girl. She’d rather prefer to have an area to stretch her legs out in. All I ask for anybody that is interested is no jumping and barrels. Her legs aren’t strong enough for such hardcore activities. Small cross rails on the rare occasion are fine, though I don’t know if she’ll jump them! She’s much more comfortable in a western saddle than an English saddle. Can be ridden in a snaffle, and loves the pressure of a bosal. I will be asking for your vets info, farrier’s info, and your trainers info, if you have any. Best suited for an intermediate/advanced rider with a trainers assistance. Please no tire kickers! This is my heart horse. The only reason I’m looking to sell her is because I’m super busy with my senior year of high school and do not have the time she needs at the moment.
