“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 manners: Can be a bit pushy with an inexperienced handler. Handler must let her know that she is not head horse over them. Once pecking order in established between Holly & handler she responds very well. Has lots of training in the Parelli 7 Games, but needs refreshing since she has not been worked in a while. She has always had a tendency to pull pack when tied, blocker rings are used with her now so she can always move her feet.

Explain overall training: Began training Fall of 2008. Was introduced to rider and never bucked. Parelli 7 Ground Games have always been preformed prior to saddle work. Since current owner was no longer able to work with her training was put on hold. Needs refresher course and should pick up right were she left off. Very willing, just needs to know you mean business.
