About Princess:
Together with Princess I bought myself a challenge. She might only by 15.1hh but at times she feels at least 17hh. She is highly athletic, and highly strung. To say I was over-horsed was an understatement. My aim was to do eventing with her, and in the meantime she was rearing at blades of grass in the paddock. Eventing requires you to jump, and I was getting refusals and standing ovations for simply staying on. (She wasn't bucking, just refusing jumps). But whoever originally named this horse "Bad Attitude", had no insight into how horses think. Together we embarked on a journey of self discovery and horsemanship that has seen this horse go on to successfully do dressage competitions, hunting school, hunts, Adult Riding Club, and freshmans showjumping.

Princess' goals:
Princess is for sale. She would do really well in a serious competition home. To be trained 6 days per week, competed and given a purpose to focus on, would be this horse's dream. Never mind her age or her height. Think 16hh, 7 years old and ready to go on with.
