Dreamer has a nice smooth slow gait and a really good medium gait ! If you can set in the saddle and hold the reins she can teach you to ride ! We bought her for my niece Macy when Macy was $ years old ! She taught Macy all the basics, she rode her for 3 years and we sold her to freinds who have rode her the last 3 years ! She has been on a lot of camping trips, picket lines and various terrain !
