Hi! I would really love to help you but I would need more information on her behavior and quirks before I can make an assessment on her ability to be gentled to ride or how trustworthy she would be. I would need more info to help you make a good decision or to train her properly. Please tell me as much as you can so I can help you. Thanks.

Hi! I am very sorry it has taken me so long to get back to you.I will tell you what I know at this moment, I am getting bits and pieces from diffrent people who have been around her since birth. I know for a fact that her owners found her down in the pasture in 2003,they called the vet out and he did an e-ray and she had the cartlidge flap,and since that time until now she has been a pasture buudy for a old shetland pony.I do know if she runs to much in the field she gets a bit stiff but she really dosen't do all that much running(she preety laid back).I just got her about two weeks ago,the lady who had her was going to give her away for free and i was afraid who ever she gave her to would disregard her condition and try to break her to ride.And that is what brought me to writing to you.I am just getting to know her and trying to figure out her quieks and what have you.sorry if this is not enough info i will try to get more and send it.

                      Thank you for your time,
                               Tina
