She’s been up to a lot of different things the last month. Getting more and more fun to ride, and more confident as a riding horse. Lilah seems to really enjoy trail riding and handles everything on the trail with a good mind and willing attitude. But really that’s how she seems to want to handle any kind of training I’ve thrown at her.
As well as being a great and trustworthy trail partner, she is also lovely in the arena. It is easy to teach her to do new things, introduce her to new obstacles, and train on her. She’s forgiving, patient, kind, and tries her hardest to figure out what I’m asking of her. She’s lovely in her face and is very soft. She is also responsive to my leg, but not overly sensitive.
I’m really looking forward to lilah finding her special person at this year’s ATFO. She’s quite the uncomplicated horse, and I see a wide variety of people being able to enjoy her. She’s never wanted to buck, rear, be nasty to people, or be excessively spooky. Get those applications in to be approved to own one special lady….you won’t be sorry
This sweet girl has really surpassed my expectations. I have had so much fun with her. She’s wonderful to have around. Very kind. Nice to handle, smart, sound, loads and ties with no issues, saddles and bridles with no issues, and is a WICKED fun trail horse. She’s very confident on the trails and seems to be most content there. She’s not a hot rod horse that wants to walk too fast when trail riding but she’s not super pokey either. She’s very careful where she puts her feet and she is very sensible. Someone is going to get one heck of a special horse. And she’s not bad to look at either!
Lilah got her first set of front shoes a couple weeks ago! She probably didn’t need to be shod, but I thought it would be good for her to know how to be shod, and to protect her feet with all of the miles we have been putting on.
She’s going to be a horse that you don’t need to be a horseman to ride. Pretty much saddle her up and ride. She’s never wanted to buck, rear, get cold backed, or any other issues. I always feel like she wants to take care of her and me and does her best. Lilah will be a horse that someone can trail ride and arena ride, and even play around with obstacles. She’s pretty uncomplicated to ride most times, and I’m so excited to see how she turns out!

We are looking to adopt to safe homes.
A history of good horsemanship, the ability to provide sufficient care with good vet, farrier and peer references are important. If you are a first-time horse owner, we will require you to board at a facility for the first year while you learn more about care. We encourage everyone to take advantage of riding lessons.
Foal adoptions require previous, established experience with youngsters.
Our adoption process makes sure you get the right horse for you – it is a no-fail process for finding the right match.
