Meet Dama Fina, affectionately known as Lady- a big, kind-hearted gal who truly rides like a couch! With her smooth trot and easy, rhythmic canter, Lady makes every ride feel effortless. She’s an uncomplicated, confidence-building partner who knows her job and enjoys doing it well.

Lady is very competent on the flat. She has a smooth trot, easy canter, picks up both leads, and has easy transitions. She’s not spooky and will has trail ridden around the property, making her a fun and reliable companion both in and out of the ring. She will get nervous if she feels that her rider is nervous, so she would be best suited for someone that is a confident rider, but that being said she's safe. Even with a nervous rider, her “worst” move is to get a little quick - never naughty and always has brakes! She has taught a lesson with an advanced beginner who was learning to post the trot, and within a few circles, the student was able to ride her around a large ring safely and quietly. Lady has jumped small courses, has a simple change, and hasn’t batted an eye. Jumps from any spot and takes a joke. She most recently was used in a college lesson program as well. 

Lady is super easy to handle and live with. She is great for the farrier and vet, she ties, crossties, loads and hauls. She does have typical thoroughbred feet, so she does need to stay on a routine schedule with the farrier. She also does need a stall with regular turnout. Lady has gone out with mares as well as geldings, and she has done well in all situations. Lady does benefit from yearly maintenance, daily Equioxx and a full set of shoes. 

Available to be tried in Franklin TN.
