I owned this mare from her birth, she has always been interested in learning and loves to be petted. This mare maybe bread to an Arabian, she does not mind kids on her back being lead around. She accepts training but she is flighty for example when she is sattled she get flighty even though she has been sattled numorious times. Seems to panic quickly at first but calms down quickly. With in minutes she calms, I think she has a learning disability that causes her to be like this but it also has caused her to become more gentle than she seemed when younger. She is willing to learn she has to repeat the training several times before she understands.
