Dude’s First Lady is a class act! At only three, she stepped off the trailer with her head held high, observing her surroundings like a calm, sophisticated, First Lady! “Lady” is a loving girl who is just waiting to blossom into who she is supposed to be! She has great, ground-covering movement, and we can’t wait to see what she can do in her forever home! Lady is lightly started and shows strength and athleticism for an advanced rider. She has a cool, calm side to her as well, which comes out when she knows her audience. She is learning to longe and to use her body. Lady should be suited for most disciplines. She loves her turnout and gets along with everyone! She also stands for grooming and the farrier, and she has front shoes.
