(she also happens to be a gorgeous dark bay!) I really lucked out, as she is everything I had hoped for and more. She's sound, well-adjusted and friendly. She is going to begin basic dressage training this winter. I paid $600 for her. Some people will give them away, but most people want just above what they would sell for at meat prices.

Good luck, hope this helps.

Thanks Suzanne. I will let her know. She doesn't know many people down here in FL. She is from NY and just moved down here about a year ago. I was telling her that we needed to go down to the track. Thanks again.
