If you are going to just do the trails who cares if she trots or gaits. In fact if you lil'one wants to show locally it would probably be better if she trots as many judges don't know what to do with a gaited critter in the middle of the crowd. If you are looking for temperment, soundness or suitablity as a confindence builder I wouldn't let that stand in the way. It may even be possible to have lil'one work with her to get her to gait properly. Hope that lady makes up her mind on your POA Don't cha hate waiting!!happyappygirl said:Nothing yet. Waiting to see if the lady buys my POA (fingers are crossed), then will commit, since i really need to get the POA out of here before i add another. She's close to making a decision on the POA, I think. She's been calling around for info on her and me,
With that said, the Paso's owner says she's a consistent trotter, but can be pushed back into the gait if really pushed, and worked at it. She said she preferred to keep her calm and quiet, so she let her be trotty. How big a deal is that?

Unfortunately, we, too, have to make room at the stables or, as sweet as I am, my better half might have some objection to yet another horse moving in.

WildHorses said:Oh my gosh, that is the most beautiful horse in the world. Unfortunately, after the stalker incident this past fall with the prior owner of an adopted horse, we made a vow never to adopt again!

Sorry...it's someone else, we've been going back and forth since before Xmas on her. She wants her, but is saying she's got a price of 750 shipping so it may not fly...darn it. her daughter wants to show her and this little mare would do very well in halter and would be a blast in games/barrels I think.WildHorses said:Are you talking about me or is someone elso also interested in the POA?

WildHorses said:Okay, just keep us posted. We're still looking. Fredsaid2 sent us a great website, but I was hoping to keep the farm after buying a new horse.
