Belle was broke as a 2 year old and used for lessons 30 days later. She is very dosile but will turn on the speed when asked. I have hauled her consistently for the past year running barrels and poles. She has been in the roping arena, backed in the box and tracked a few steers. She will trail ride, give lessons, and can be ridden by any age and any level of experience. She is currently running 1 sec. to 1.5 second off the "Big Dogs" here in IL. She rides in just an O ring or light snaffle and will turn on a dime when cued. She is running consistent 22 second poles and runs a straight line could be running 19/20 sec poles with a good pole bender mounted on her back. She will carry a flag, work horsemanship patterns and will also do pleasure. This mare is exceptional and needs an owner to take her career on the road faithfullly.
