Raven is a tried and true trail horse. She will go wherever you point her, be it a steep hill, ditch crossing, through water, narrow ways, she’s brave. She stand still to mount, while you talk with friends, or tied to the trailer or at the barn. She will walk on a loose rein, or stay in a smooth consistent gait, whichever you like. She has never even thought about bucking, rearing, or bolting. Raven is quiet and willing and safe. I do believe she would take advantage of a beginner kid, as she knows her job, and takes pride in doing it. You can leave her to turnout and she’ll be the same horse the next time your ready to ride. When your on the trail, and the other horses won’t, ask Raven, because she will! She would be absolutely perfect for someone who’s looking for safe, yet capable, and willing in all aspects of trail riding, including endurance. I have videos ready upon request.
