She's strong minded and that can be a good thing. She is also strong physically and will be a real goer when she's ready. If Lily were up for it, I would really like to pony her for a while. Let her learn and gain confidence from another horse. But that's just not to be. It's her and me for the next two months at least. ;) I like her too!

Luckily most everything Kidnelwood was asked had been coming at her all of her life. She still had sass and brass momnets and childish mental check out moments all the way up until she was 6 almost 7. She had just crossed that barrier the year I bred her for Pro. I hope whoever gets this mare is not in a hurry to ride her alot. I would not do more than back her lightly at this stage in her life if she were mine. I'd be asking more of her as far as riding next year and only mild circling, straight aways, backing and short walk, trot, walk transistions. Just my take on her what I've read so far. I agree about letting things get monotinous for her so she will be anxious for new things later on. I really like this mare a lot... there I said it again! sigh....
