Sale Horses

Looking for a pretty palomino princess? Meet Elsa, a 3-4-year-old (vet and dentist aged) crossbred mare. I was told she is a Quarter Horse/Haflinger cross, however I have no papers, so I’m calling her a crossbred for the sake of this ad. I strive to be extremely honest about the horses I sell and will tell you absolutely everything I know, good and bad. Please read the entire ad and watch the videos prior to reaching out with questions. I should have covered most things in those.

Currently standing at 14’2 and expected to finish around 15’, Elsa is a lovely, thick, well-built girl who has been started properly. She’s the kind of horse who will nicker when she sees you, walk right up to you, and check your pockets for treats. If you love horses that are giant puppies, she’s the girl for you.

Elsa is a 2 on the temperament scale on the ground. She is calm, brave, and easy going. Though she is green, she is the type of horse that almost anyone could handle, including children. She has been exposed to tarps, water, ropes, unfamiliar sounds, etc. and she has taken it all in stride. 

Elsa is a 5 on the temperament scale for riding, mostly due to her being so green. Though she has w/t/c and hopped over some fences, she is still a baby and will need a patient and confident rider. She understands the basics but has a lot of learning ahead and can get a little hot if she’s unsure of what to do.

Elsa is currently barefoot with awesome feet and a very easy keeper. She is happy in a stall or in 24/7 turnout, alone or with others. She’s just a cool and collected kind of gal!

More about Elsa:

· Good with dogs, cats, kids, chickens, minis, etc

· Picks up all 4 feet easily and can be touched all over (including ears and udder)

· Low on the totem pole in turnout, very respectful of other horses

· Respects electric fence

· Started w/t/c under saddle, started over fences. 

· Stands for farrier, tacking up and blanketing

· Up to date on Coggins, dentistry and feet. She WILL need her spring vaccines.

· Lunges and long-lines beautifully

· Yields to pressure and understands moving hips/shoulders separately

· Respectful when leading (can be led by beginners)

· Very athletic- I could see her excelling in ANY discipline 

· Patient when straight-tied and cross-tied

· Loves to be groomed and loved on

· No known lameness or health issues

Currently working on:

· She can be a bit head-shy. She does best if you put a lead rope around her neck prior to haltering and going slowly to put reins over her head. She has improved drastically since I’ve had her, so I imagine she will continue to get more comfortable with it.

· You need to go slow putting a saddle pad or blanket on her, although she is getting better every day. The most she will do is flinch. If you show her what you’re doing, she is fine.

· She sometimes paws when she is waiting for her grain. Not always.

· I have never personally trailered her. I was told she got right on the trailer and did great getting transported to me. Given her personality, I suspect that is the truth. However, I cannot vouch for this personally.

· She WILL need her spring shots.

· Twice Elsa has had a baby moment after mounting her. She will shuffle forward 10ish feet and do some crow hopping and needs reassurance that everything is okay. She does best if someone is able to hold her reins on the ground while the rider mounts. That seems to give her extra confidence. She seems unsure/anxious for the first few moments of riding and then works through it. I'm happy to discuss this further with any serious buyers.

· If she has a hanging bucket that is on a wall bracket bucket holder and not clipped she will 100% flip it. 

· I have only hosed off her legs, not a full bath (due to the weather). She was okay with the water but needed me to go slowly. Once she understood what was happening, she stood nicely. She may need some extra work on that for a full bath, I can't say for certain.

· She has a scar on her inside right thigh (see photo). It was there when I got her so the origin is unknown. This has not affected her soundness in any way.

Because Elsa is young, I would recommend she go to a confident intermediate rider working with a trainer or above. I could see her being excellent with beginners once she’s matured a bit more.
