I have a 20 yr. old Arab-Quarter horse mare that is just the
best horse I've ever ridden.

She is about 15.1 and very robust. Good bone, solid hooves.

She got us started in Competetive trail and I didn't know how
spoiled we were until she started to age and I decided to use
another horse. In the 2 rides we took Jafar in, she got
a second and a first. She has never been lame or injured in
the 14 years we've owned her. She is a very easy keeper and
has wonderful barn manners. We call her 'Mrs. Ed' because
she is such a character - dumping over the nail bucket when
we're fixing fence, sticking one foot in the grain room if the
food isn't coming out fast enough, etc...

My kids (5 & 7) adore her and are learning to ride on her. This
is not to say that she is a pushbutton. On the trail she is
very strong, but fair, no nastiness, just a drive to be first, always.

She is very smart, which contributes to her lack of injury (she
doesn't do anything stupid) and her overall condition (she can
find food ANYWHERE).

I would recommend this cross to anyone.

horses in the barnyard...)
