She’s brave on the trails, knows what “whoa” means, is good turned out with other horses, and is as cute as can be. She’d be ideal for a human partner who wants to do a little of everything.

She knows how to neck rein and is ready to show what else she knows with an intermediate to advanced rider. Tap here for Fern’s full profile.
