Pocahontas is a wonderful Appaloosa mare surrendered to our rescue last summer. She is dependable under saddle and has the ability to be a beginner or intermediate rider’s horse as she tailors her behavior to her rider.
Pocahontas came to us Western trained with moderate experience. She has been under saddle all summer and fall and gained further experience in trail riding and some arena work. Pocahontas is a horse that you can ride everyday or once a year and she will always be the same, great for occasional riders. She has good transitions, responds to leg cues and has been started in sliding stops and rollbacks. She is a typical appaloosa with a strong personality, very smart and people oriented. She is very conscious of her rider under saddle and protects her rider.
She loads, crossties, bathes, longes, rides bareback and western, and is great with the farrier. She is 14.3 but very sturdy and can easily carry a rider up to about 220 pounds. She is up to date on all vaccinations, Coggins, and teeth floating. She is blind in one eye, we think from very early on, and although she is a little spooky on the ground on the right side, under saddle she is very steady; the blindness does not affect her. She is sound with no health issues and is an easy keeper.If you are interested in learning more about her email us.
