Are you a little “less than confident” or even downright “scared!!” but really want to get out there to trail ride?? Searching for a fearless, well-trained “been-there, done-that” type of trail horse that is calm, gentle and not in a big hurry? Maybe you need a big-built, “same every time” type of horse for a “hubby” or guest that occasionally tags along on some of the trail rides, but doesn’t have time to keep a horse “tuned up”. Then “Buttermilk” is THE horse for YOU!! This VERY stout built, 7yo, 16h mare is a “gentle giant” with a big ol’ heart to match that big ol’ body! She is so gentle and truly loves to please her people! She is very easy to ride. If you can get on her…you can ride her! Oh, she will stand there for you…statue still, but she is a tall one – LOL! But…oh, so easy-going! If you are new to horses, she would be a great first horse! She is well-built and stout enough to carry a very large rider, but safe enough for a child! Buttermilk is a great horse for a rider just starting out or anyone who would enjoy a quiet, easy-going trail horse. She does not mind riding at a slower pace, relaxed and not in a hurry. She is calm and easy with excellent ground & saddle manners. She is very easy to ride and responds to simple voice commands. Truly, if you can sit in a chair (more like on your couch!), you can ride her – she makes a complete novice feel like a pro! She is content to walk along all day if desired…a great confidence building horse for a timid type rider. She would also be great for someone who rides with non-gaited friends, as she is not too “hot” to “plod along” with her pals, but she is not lazy and answers willingly when called upon for her smooth gait and has a super nice canter, too! Whether you are a man, woman or child, novice or experienced rider…she will take care of you on the roughest of terrains! She handles the trails safely & calmly. We have ridden her everywhere and in very rugged terrain – she will go ANYWHERE and never refuses anything we ask her to do! She does not hesitate when asked to go thru the deepest water or the thickest brush or step over the highest obstacle or during this winter…MUCK thru the yuckiest mud-hole! She will lead, walk in the middle or happily bring up the rear – she does not care. No worries with this gal – she will bring you safely home without incident! As with all of our horses, she has been exposed to all types of terrain, barking dogs and other livestock, bicycles, traffic including motorcycles, lawn mowers, tractors, and heavy equipment. She has been ridden both English and Western. Desensitized to hikers, ATV’s, traffic, bikes, ropes, tarps & kids playing! Loads/Unloads/Re-loads and trailers well on any trailer. Ties, clips, grooms, and bathes, stands for the farrier and vet. Stands still to mount and dismount. Buttermilk is current on all health care. Absolutely ANYONE can ride this horse – even YOU! She is a safe, cool headed trail partner with a trustworthy attitude. She is a true pleasure to ride and a horse that will let you relax and enjoy the day! Buttermilk will build your confidence and skill level – a true trail horse deluxe! Are YOU Ready to RIDE!! Our horses are backed by a Satisfaction Guarantee.
