Kiowa is a beautiful 13YO red roan Arab/Appy cross mare, foaled in 1998. She stands at just over 14.3H and weighs about 1000 lbs. Kiowa was rescued from a situation where she had been abused by children throwing rocks and sticks at her over a period of time. She learned to charge the fence line of her small pen as a response to this intimidation. Kiowa has since learned to trust humans and when worked with consistently, will follow you around seeking attention. Since her abuse occurred while she was confined, Kiowa thrives as a pasture horse and has learned to accept treats and calm handling in a stall/pen situation. She has beautiful conformation. She is saddle trained but has not had consistent riding during the past couple years. She shows great potential. Under saddle she can shut down rather than go forward. She has not shown a tendency to buck or rear. She has a nice floaty, forward trot. Kiowa needs to go to that human who is willing and experienced to be consistent with her and be patient during the process. We have a "no breeding" stipulation for our mares and fillies.
Update: Kiowa has been ridden recently by our trainer and board member, Lori Torrini. Her student, Hannah, has also ridden her. It is apparent that with calm and gentle handling and riding, Kiowa progresses in her ability to stay focused and carry her rider. She continues to need consistent handling in order to bring her to her full potential.
