If you are looking for a kind, attractive and well behaved partner to go do “all the things” Anna is your girl. This lovely mare is ready to take you to the show ring one day and on a long trail the next. She loves to ride out and is brave cross country but is equally sweet and reliable in the dressage ring. She has had limited show experience but has always been a pleasure to have off the farm for shows or trail riding with friends. For the last 3 years she has been owned and ridden by my mother and has been to a few shows with a student of mine. She would make a suitable amateur or kids horse and has enough experience under her belt to show someone the basics of dressage or jumping. She has lovely natural form over fences and while I would say she is more on the forward side for jumping she is certainly not a strong horse with a big go button.
