Meet BERNADETTE
Bernadette is a sweet Grade mare who came to us in the summer of 2024. When she arrived, she was underweight and unhandled. It took some time for Bernadette to get used to her new life at the Ranch. Once she began her groundwork and passed some of the basics, our trainers were ready to evaluate her. Upon evaluation, our trainers found that Bernadette (surprisingly) responded to bridle pressure. She backed up nicely and was fairly soft in the brindle. Upon evaluation under saddle, however, our trainers found that Bernadette was uncomfortable. She did not like being saddled, girthed, and mounted. She would shake violently while our trainers attempted to work with her while doing these things. At this point, due to her age and lack of training under saddle, we believe Bernadette would do best as a pasture pet. Dont let this sway your opinion of this cutie! Bernadette has kind eyes and a gentle soul. Once she settles into a new routine, Bernadette shines. She gets along with other horses and tends to be on the lower end of the pecking order. Once you gain her trust, Bernadette enjoys the occasional pet of affection. While she is still working on being comfortable with our farrier, she has already come a far way in her training. We think she would do best with a confident handler who has the time to earn her trust and work with her to be the best horse she can be.
