Skittles has started learning groundwork skills through our training program. She is still getting the hang of basics like respecting personal space, leading nicely without pulling, and moving away from pressure. She has clearly had some handling in the past that was of poor quality, and is skeptical that people are worth paying much attention to, so it will take some work to make her into a good citizen.
At this point with this mare, I see a lot of potential. She is smart and willing, athletic and not hard to look at. Skittles has a block that we are working through and has been ridden 5 times. All successful. She is early in her saddle training and requires a trainer-level rider at this time.
