Spice is a cute little pinto mare. She is a solid bay with 4 white stockings and a stripe plus a small white splash on her rump.
She is a super little mare who is very willing and will give anything a go. She is easy to catch, trim feet and float. Very laid back nature and isnt fussed by anything. Not spooky in the slightest.
She is 13.1hh and is approx 18 years old. She is easily ridden by beginners in the paddock/yard/arena/etc... but when out trail riding on roads she is more forward moving so needs a more competent rider for for that. She has been ridden by a 12 year old beginner for lessons for the past 3 months and was very well behaved. The young girl who was learning to ride was a raw beginner and had never been on a horse before. She managed Spice really well and was riding her off the lunge after only a few short rides. Spice is more slow than fast in the paddock and enjoys a nice quiet plod along. She has the most comfortable trot and canter I have felt for a little pony and you literally just sit there on her, she's very smooth so is fantastic for learner riders to gain balance and position without being put off by a bouncy little pony trot.
She has been ridden in a BITLESS BRIDLE for the whole time she has been with us. We have put a bit in her mouth, which she detested so much I figured a bitless was a much kinder approach and she is very responsive with the bitless which is great. I have been told that she was ridden by kids prior to being with us and apparently the kids that rode her were very rough with her mouth and used a very harsh un-neccessary western bit and I think may be a contributing factor to her dislike of the bit. I would prefer that she continue being ridden in the Bitless bridle because she is so much happier when it is being used.
Overall she is a lovely little pony who will make anyone happy.
Spice is priced at $1350.00 - A VERY FAIR PRICE FOR A QUIET BEGINNERS PONY !!!
She does need her teeth done and my price reflects this - normally I'd advertise her for approx $1500
