Clover

This is our newest addition, Clover. She is a 6 year old paint. She came to us leary of new things and unbroke. Her owners surrendered her when a trainer told them she would be too time consuming and difficult. She was very herd bound and would rear up at her leader when she was removed from a paddock. She's been here since July, and has progressed in leaps and bounds. We fixed her sourness, and she willingly leaves her herd to be caught, crosstied, groomed, tacked and exercised. Her poor conformation makes her a bit rebellious to work in tight circles, so we worked on building muscle to help her. After weeks of lunging, and trot poles, she was ready to accept a rider. Here are a few video clips of her first ride with Leanne in the saddle.
