Dahlia

Description:

Dahlia is one of the most honest horses I’ve had the pleasure of riding. She knows a hard week’s worth of work on the ranch, or you can take her for a nice pleasant ride on the trail. She also is great for kids to ride on the trail or go to gymkhanas or jumping events, parades, rodeos, etc… she is absolutely fearless and not spooky. She is very gentle and a pleasure to be around. She is not marish acts like a gelding. She rides off alone or in groups will follow or lead. She has been up to 11000ft elevation in the Rockies and trail-ridden all over the Appalachian mountains back east. She knows her leads have nice lead changes. She knows some western dressage would be easy to make ready for showing. She bridles up nicely, rides off of seat or leg as well, or a child can plow rein her as seen in the video. She rides between your legs n bridle. Great in the arena or outside wherever. She knows how to half pass side pass haunches in or haunches out. She is excellent for mounted shooting; I’m shooting live ammo off of her in the video.
She is traffic safe day or night and absolutely fearless on the trails as she crosses rivers, bridges, tunnels, you name it, and points and goes. She has a very nice trot and super nice lope. She is also started in jumping, and really doing well wouldn’t take much to be in the winner’s circle with her. The kids love riding her at the ranch and get on her every chance they get. She also is used to carrying me 6ft1 and 195 pounds 10 hours a day on the ranch up in the mountains, gathering pasture, sorting, and roping. She does not ever wear out and always gives 100 percent. She would be a great asset to any family looking for that true all-around horse, whether on the ranch or competitive riding. She is truly a unicorn. Thank you in advance for your interest!
