Evaluation and Training
Ember is a cute mare who is friendly and good to catch, lead, and load. Over the summer of 2020, a youth handler worked with her and taught her to navigate trail obstacles in hand. She also began riding her and felt like Ember may have been ridden in the past, but she does not seem to know much. She was ridden by a teen in 2020 and bucked under saddle. Her 2021 Spring Training Challenge partner is a young rider who has a lot of experience. She's bucked with Norma as well, but they've worked through this. Norma's mom feels Ember would be best with a child rider who is working with a trainer or an experience child rider. But she has potential to be an adorable show pony with some more work!
