Stella

4/4/2025 Stella is doing absolutly wonderful in her training so we wanted to share an update on the progress she has made! Every day we get to see more of Stella's personality as she grows to trust people. Stella is now working under saddle for light rides as she learns to be relaxed, condident and carry herself correctly at the walk and developing trot. She is still learning the basics of flexion and softness as well as being calm in new situations with a rider. She has also proven herself to be very condifent in hand over obstacles and confidence courses, including tarps, tunnels, bridgles, and see-saws. At this time she would still require an experienced and calm handler who can continue her training so she can continue to learn to be confident and carry herself correctly under saddle. She would excell as a light riding horse or a groundwork and liberty companion. 

Stella is sweet and gentle mare with a kind personality. Though she is timid, she will warm up to people if they are calm and quiet. Stella is learning to be more confident in new situations and  has shown good in-hand manners. She stands quietly cross-tied and is sensible for lunging and groundwork. She has been lightly started under saddle and is learning the basics of steering, contact, flexion, and responding to leg cues. She has done well with everything we have taught her and has proven to be sensible under saddle. Stella can be very nervous and flighty at times so for this reason she will require an advanced handler. She is truly a lovely, beautiful, and kind mare who is looking for a calm handler who can continue her training.
