“These assessments are based on how these horses respond in their current environment and any change in their current environment, riders, diet, etc could have an effect on the horses' immediate performance. Horses need time to adjust when moved to new surroundings. We highly recommend you visit, spend time with the equines and evaluate the equine before making a decision"

Explain overall training: Ayla is an older mare that does not appear to have had much training, if any. When tested, she went in circles. She seemed to be sore in her back but this could be just from being old. She is offered as a companion because she really is too old to train to ride.
