Noria is an amazing little pony who can do almost anything. W/T/C, she jumps, and she goes bareback, etc. My daughter has jumped her up to 18" but she can definitely go higher. She stands at 13HH and is turning 9 this year (2012). She is not spooky what so ever and does AMAZING on the trails. She would be perfect for a beginner W/T but can get lazy at the canter. She does need work with the canter but responds best with a special lunging technique that is easy to do. She prefers to have one owner but would do ok for beginner lessons. My daughter has been teaching her friend how to ride on Noria. Also, she is an AMAZING show horse who wins the blues. Noria has done W/T/C flat classes along with trail, W/T flat, and Hunter 18" cross rails. She has done great during the showing seasons for the past few years. Noria also drives but I have not attempted it, I'm sure she still remembers how to do it though. Recently, my daughter has begun teaching her to neck rein and she is doing very well and is almost completely trained. Noria goes bit less or with a bit, I have both bridles that can be sold separately. I also have her western saddle that can be sold separately. Noria is out of Bonnie (Welsh Cob) by Dante (Gotland). VERY VERY sadly, my daughter has outgrown her. Noria is just your all around girl who will take your child far. She is a rare breed also, so I am asking $4000 OBO. Call or email if you have any questions. Also, she trailers alone or with another horse, good for the farrier (barefoot) and vet. UTD on shots and has good ground manners. She is currently stabled at Old Coach Farm in Charlstown, RI. GOOD HOME ONLY!
