Chili is a big strong mare with a stoudt body, short back, and strong bone. Her legs are clean,her feet are sound. She has been ridden the past two years by riders who were new to gaited and they did fine with her. Said she is easy to put into gait. Has been hanging out in the pasture most of this year, but is easy to handle and ride. No vices. Lazy/slow type of mover, although she does have some energy out on the trail.
