BEHS 1370 – Pie to Your Piper

Pie to Your Piper’s Challenge trainer thought she acted like she had had some ground work in the past. She is good to catch: in fact she’s the first one up to you in pasture. She leads, loads, and stands tied well. She’s good for grooming, bathing, fly spraying, and the farrier. She’s been taught to wear a western saddle and snaffle bridle and to lunge.

Her Training Challenge trainer began riding her, but they didn’t progress beyond a walk and trot in the round pen due to the trainer’s schedule (no fault of Piper’s). She did not make it to the Challenge and stayed with her Challenge partner throughout the winter. They did not get to ride due to the weather, but they’ve started riding again (February 2024) and she’s doing well. She’s still green so she’ll need an experienced rider, or an intermediate rider taking lessons, to continue working with her. But she’s definitely ready for her own home!

Piper is such a pretty girl and nice mover that she could excel at almost anything. Don’t let her age fool you: Arabians are often ridden into their late 20s, some even into their 30s, and we have no reason to think Piper doesn’t have many good years of riding fun ahead of her.
