Patenna is an absolutely stunning mare with the potential to do AMAZING things from pony club to western dressage, she could do it all with the right person! While her history is a bit unclear, we know that her future is incredibly bright! She’s sound, sane and stunning and ready to head into training! She’s a sweet and sensitive Thoroughbred who will do best with a thoughtful, calm handler. She has never done anything naughty and appreciates being allowed to think about the “ask” from her handler so she can fully commit. Has routine groundwork sessions, was taken on a western outing and exposed to cattle this past winter and trailers frequently.
