Athena is extremely calm and gentle, safe for any level rider. She is honest and steady cross country and can pack a timid rider. Athena is easy in all ways, great to trailer, ties all day, no vices, no shoes needed, easy keeper, 100% sound. She is fancy enough to win in the hunter ring yet safe for anyone. If you want to jump but don't want to get hurt, this is your horse. She just finished the ETI season as walk-trot champion with a small 11-year-old.
