Here is her ad:

Well broke and trained 11 yr/old mare Used for cattle penning, trail rides etc. She has had 60 days of professional training on cows. It is a numbers game for us. Has great feet and easy keeper. She is too good to be left unrode.

This mare is owned by a team penning family, used for penning and trail rides, checking cows, fences, etc. She was the main mount for their dad, who in his late 80's has just given up riding- she was the only horse he rode the last few years. I talked at length to the owner, he says it's a personality clash between him and the mare, she has no issues but can be a little hard to catch and can flip her head away when you reach for her- no surprise, they have never done her teeth although the geldings they use for penning have been done. I might get along real good with this pretty mare.

Here is the ad for this mare:
12yr old Hollywood dun it mare 14.1hh
This mare is broke. Neck reins, moves off the leg, knows her leads. Huge stop, snappy rollbacks and lots of go this mare has a big motor. She has worked the flag, been around cattle and Buffalo and been a turn back horse for cutting. She has done some breakaway roping but not a ton. Gone down the trails and down the hwy. This mare has a level head where ever you take her. Ride inside or out she's Broke broke broke. And sound!! She trailers, ties, good for the farrier and super easy to catch! Not a kids or a beginners horse she has way to much go. Serious inquiries only

My problem with her is her 14.1 size and that her owner promised me video but has not sent them yet.


The third contender is this mare, a granddaughter of Skeets Peppy, who I have always admired:

Here is her ad:

Ride her or breed her! As the GRAND DAUGHTER OF SKEETS PEPPY, "Whiskey" has it all! She is easy to catch, stands well for the farrier, loads easily, and has had two months professional training with Lachlan Bell at Bell Performance Horses. She was started as a 3 year old in a cow/calf operation, where she was roped off of, drug and doctored calves, etc. She was started chasing the flag and enjoyed it. She has a very cowy instinct and would be a good prospect for any ranch or rodeo events. Recommend an advanced/experienced rider because she has had some time off.
Whiskey stands 15.1hh and has outstanding breeding. Her conformation is perfectly straight with a big solid hind end. She has an amazing temperament. She has been started with Cowboy Challenge obstacles. She walks well over tarps, under curtains, over wood bridges and is not easily startled.
Up to date on all shots, feet are done regularily. Whiskey is an excellent young horse with a ton of potential. She is also an extremely easy keeper and doesn't require any special needs.

This mare has had time off and is just getting ridden again now- that photo is of her first ride since last fall. Owner has been away working. She is also a little bigger than what I want, but not overly big.

So there you have it- the latest group of mares for me to check out! Any thoughts?
