2015  AQHA Mare

14.1 HH

Cider may be on the smaller side but her heart, grit and work ethic are giant. She will go all day down the trails, working cattle or whatever job you give her. She will never be the first one to quit. If there is a job to do, she will get it done.

Cider was 90% trained and shown by a green reiner and knows her maneuvers, been in the 1D at barrel races, sorted and worked cows(this is one of her favorites), participated in ranch versatility, dabbled in some working equitation, competitive trail obstacles, a little bit of western dressage, some liberty work and even gone over a jump or two. She is a phenominal trail/mountain/beach horse. Alone or in a group, any position. Crawl underneath her, drag a tarp from her, carry a flag, pony a spicy colt, hobble her, bareback, bridleless, even backwards. She has also partaken in a self defense on horseback class and was the star of the day. This girl does it all.

Cider is happy to calmly go down the trail or kick it into high gear. She has many buttons and will ride off your seat. If she feels her rider falling, she will immediately stop moving. She adores kids and will follow them around for potential pets and cookies. 

Cider is the entire package from looks, versatility, safe, pedigree. She will turn heads wherever you go with her gorgeous looks and markings.
