Get to Know Adoptable Horse Stella
Stella is a young, sweet-natured mare with a kind disposition and a bright future ahead of her. Though smaller in size, she has an excellent work ethic, an extremely solid mental foundation and a willing attitude. She has a solid foundation in groundwork, stands politely for the mounting block, and has recently begun her under-saddle education and has taken her first few rides wonderfully—remaining calm, willing, and showing no bucking or resistance while remaining soft, forward, and attentive to her rider. She has just ridden at a walk and trot, and recently completed her first ride outside the round pen.
She is very solid when it comes to desensitization and takes new experiences in stride, making her a pleasure to work with on the ground and under saddle. Stella is eager to learn and shows a genuine desire to please, responding well to guidance and consistent handling.
Her sweet personality has quickly made her a favorite among the rescue’s volunteers, and she enjoys human interaction and attention. With continued training, Stella has the potential to develop into a reliable and enjoyable partner for a variety of disciplines.
Stella would do best in a home that is ready to continue her education at a steady, positive pace. She is an excellent candidate for someone looking for a young horse to grow with and build a strong, trusting partnership.
