Petra was bred for the show ring and had been started her training in saddleseat riding before her owner passed away. She has a big, bold personality and is brimming with energy. She is used to life in a show barn where she was raised, and she reached the point in her training of having a rider up a couple times. She’ll need someone experienced to both restart and keep going with her training, and in the right hands, she will be a force to be reckoned with. She could excel in saddleseat, driving, endurance, or any other adventures that she and her future adopter want to explore together. 

Her personality is such that she’ll quickly step into the role of leader if she doesn’t have that from her handler. She’ll do best with someone eager to show this brilliant mare the steps of whatever direction/discipline you choose, and truly partner with her. If you’re experienced with saddlebreds or have always wanted one in your life here’s a beautiful, bold, healthy and sound, registered young mare who will make someone an amazing friend and equine partner. 

Note: All horses at GRG are microchipped, on a regular schedule of appropriate vaccinations, Coggins, deworming, feet trimming and dental work as advised by the veterinarians we work with. Horses who come to us with special medical, hoof care, or other needs get the diagnostic workup necessary to get them healthy and comfortable. Vet records, x-rays available upon request. Pre-purchase exams are welcome and encouraged (by your veterinarian, at your cost).
