10/01/24 UPDATE – Pixie has been learning a lot. She has shown from early on that it is not her first time being ridden, so she is working through things at her own pace. With this came some habits that weren’t the greatest. She is a confident individual that we think will like having a job and consistent riding. Moving forward, we think she would enjoy having a job. She is still very green and will require an advanced rider to help continue her training.
Pixie is level headed in general but can be reactive in new situations. She is easy to catch and improving everyday. Pixie wants to please and will crowd her handler if allowed to so she needs clear boundaries. We hope to start Pixie in saddle training this year.
Pixie is a generally friendly filly who came in with some prior handling. Since her arrival, she has improved her ability to be caught, to lead, and to be handled for vet care and farrier work. As she is still quite young, she will get a break now that she knows her basic skills until she is ready for more advanced groundwork.
