**UPDATE - Week 1 - Kitty is doing well in training. She is not afraid of much so saddling and mounting went very well and now they are working on making Kitty listen and do what is asked of her. She is progressing well.

Week 2 - Kitty is progressing well in training. She is not scared of her rider and is gentle and pretty willing. She is an older mare to be broke so is insistent on doing things her way at times but will work out of that with more time.

Week 3 - Kitty is doing really well and according to her trainer will make a nice riding horse. She is staying calm and trying to listen.

Week 4 - Kitty has an average to smooth trot. She is very relaxed and has a steady, slow trot that is very nice to ride. She has only been loped a few times and is still trying to figure out her balance but the trainer said she would say that her lope is smoother than most.

Week 5 - New video!! See our website to view it on the Mares Page. www.nickericranch.com

Week 6 - Working on the lope and she is progressing nicely.

Kitty is currently in 60 days training in April and May and price includes this training. Kitty is a total doll. She is very friendly and she loves everyone and they love her. She will leave the other horses and her food to come and see you. She is double registered AQHA/NFQHA. She has 87% foundation breeding. AND she is tested homozygous black so no red foals and homozygous for dun factor making her a 100% dun or grulla producer. She is a beautiful dun with tons of dun factor that is turning gray. She is very striking and will get you noticed. Huge dorsal stripe, leg barring, black across the withers. Very flashy girl. Kitty is very gentle and easy to have around. No bad habits. Easy to catch anywhere. Loads, hauls, bathes, ties, up to date on worming and shots. Stands for the farrier. Excellent bone and hooves. She has matured into a gorgeous mare. Her pedigree is packed full of grulla, dun and gray so she should be an awesome color producer for a breeder also. She had a gorgeous grulla tobiano filly when bred to a black tobiano stallion. She is an excellent mother and will let you handle the foal with no issues. Her sire has produced a reining point earner and roping performers doing well in the arena. She is very athletic and is flat amazing to watch out in the pasture. She has natural herding instincts. We believe she would make an awesome team penner, sorter, cutter or ranch horse. She will also make a great lesson horse and kids horse with more riding also, she is super sweet. She is a hard one to sell. Only selling due to a change in our breeding program. Kitty is a once in a lifetime type horse, you can search your whole life and not find one like her. Don't let her pass you by!! I LOVE this mare and you will too.
