She is built to last—with good bone, a strong back, and clean legs—but what really sets her apart is her kind nature and big heart. She has been the go-to partner for our 6-year-old daughter Rebecka, who has ridden her all over—through creeks, over logs, checking cows, and even down busy state roads. Rebecka calls her a “step-up babysitter,” and that is exactly what she is. Debbie is gentle, patient, and reliable enough for even the youngest or newest rider, while still being responsive and broke enough for someone more experienced. She is also senior-safe, making her a great fit for riders of all ages and skill levels.

Little Debbie is a trail veteran. She is comfortable leading, following, or riding out solo. She handles new places with confidence, and she stays calm around traffic, wildlife, dogs, and farm equipment. She has been exposed to all sorts of obstacles, including tarps and jugs, and takes it all in stride. Under saddle, Debbie has a nice one-hand neck rein and three smooth, easy-to-ride gaits—walk, trot, and canter. Her trot is steady and soft, and her canter is a joy to ride. Whether you are loping circles in the arena or exploring the countryside, she is always game. She rides Western, English, and bareback without a fuss. Debbie is versatile, sure-footed, and has a level-headed attitude that makes her a pleasure to ride in just about any setting. On the ground, she is just as sweet. Debbie is always the first to meet you at the gate and loves being brushed, pampered, and loved on. She is a true people horse with a kind eye and a gentle soul. We have never seen a mean bone in her body, she just wants to be your friend. She wears shoes on all four feet due to the rocky terrain where we ride, but she has strong feet and could go barefoot if needed. Debbie is up to date on all vaccinations, deworming, and dental care. She is sound, healthy, and ready to bring someone a lot of joy. If you are looking for a dependable, safe, and loving mare that the whole family can enjoy, Little Debbie is your girl. She is the kind that makes you fall in love every time you swing a leg over.
