Liberty has been a mountain trail and pack horse (because that`s what her breeder loves to do) all her life! She was introduced to dressage last year (because her sibling brothers took over the trail jobs) and even went to some schooling shows with her owner. She was put into professional training with me for a month in February. I am not a friend of Friesians for Dressage, to tell the truth...but I have to say this mare is the best of both worlds! She has the wonderful, kind temperament of her sire, Jibbe, and the willingness to work and a motor behind from her TB dam. The video was done after 2 weeks.
Yesterday the mare came back for the photoshoot, she had not been ridden in the arena weeks, just on trails. I hopped on, my first time riding her outside, she did everything I asked!
Truly a reliable, quality mount who, with a little more training, could be shown within a few weeks. The gaits are more than good enough she will be able to do extensions and changes when the time comes.
