She is about 15.1 and very robust. Good bone, solid hooves.
She got us started in Competetive trail and I didn't know how
spoiled we were until she started to age and I decided to use
another horse. In the 2 rides we took Jafar in, she got
a second and a first. She has never been lame or injured in
the 14 years we've owned her. She is a very easy keeper and
has wonderful barn manners. We call her 'Mrs. Ed' because
she is such a character - dumping over the nail bucket when
we're fixing fence, sticking one foot in the grain room if the
food isn't coming out fast enough, etc...
My kids (5 & 7) adore her and are learning to ride on her. This
is not to say that she is a pushbutton. On the trail she is
very strong, but fair, no nastiness, just a drive to be first, always.
She is very smart, which contributes to her lack of injury (she
doesn't do anything stupid) and her overall condition (she can
find food ANYWHERE).
I would recommend this cross to anyone.

this morning and deer hunting season started yesterday (lock your
horses in the barnyard...)
