This is the difference we saw in her in 10 weeks >>
All I did with her to start with was ground work, and she was like my shadow, i walk, she walks, I stop, she stops, I turn, she turns, and she was always so respectful of my space. After a while, we decided it was time to find out if she could be ridden. At the start, I just leaned over her, then step in a stirrup, then slowly got on, she never skipped a beat. We had the first few rides in a small area, and she was perfect, before long we were doing trail rides, clinics and musters.
I have had Evy for just over 8 months now. As far as we know, she wasn't ridden in the 5 years since she was a racehorse.
We regularly do musters and long trail rides, as well as work in the arena, and she has amazed me with how fast she learns, how willing she is, and how eager she is to please. Someone else's trash is 100% my treasure. I feel blessed to own this beautiful sweet mare. We hope to start doing some fun low level comps this year, as well as lots of clinics, lessons and training for us both.
