About this item

Breed: American Quarter Horse, Grade Gender: Mare Age: 20 Height: 14.2hh Color: Other Disciplines: Other, Companion, Trail Riding, Prospect for Any Discipline, Clear the Shelters Adoption fee: $1,000 Location: West Virginia Horse Network — Charleston, WV Dakota is an 19 year old Morgan cross. She is broke to ride and is an amazing trail horse that is up for any level of trail. She has a very big trot and a smooth canter that would look nice in the arena as well. She is a little forward and needs more miles so not for a beginner but not hard to handle. She stands to be groomed, bathed and great for the farrier. She loads on the trailer without a fuss and backs off the trailer. She has been exposed to multiple obstacles and handled them like a dream. We can't say enough nice things about Dakota. Once she bonds with you she is an extremely sweet girl that loves attention. Dakota is much happier in a pasture environment and is a little higher in the pecking order but not mean to other horses. She can be a challenge to catch, but once you have her she relaxes and is easy for all necessary care and handling. Dakota had to have an eye removed recently but she is adapting fine. Again, Dakota isn't for a beginner and will need an intermediate or better adopter. She is used to being ridden in a hackamore. We are able to allow potential adopters to speak to both Dakota's current foster as well as her previous adopter to give additional perspective and answer any questions. Dakota is currently fostered in MARYLAND. West Virginia Horse Network is a rescue; this horse is for adoption, not for sale.
