• Exceptionally sweet, people‑oriented, and gentle
• Easy to catch and halter (pony‑size halter)
• Loads in a trailer easily — even by herself
• Walks politely next to you when being led
• Social in a herd; currently turned out with mares and geldings and does well
• Good with older children on the ground

Training & Abilities:
• Broke to ride
• Ridden in both western and English saddles with a snaffle bit
• Free lunges in the round pen at walk/trot/canter both directions
• Lunges on a line at walk/trot/canter both directions
• Ridden in round pen, arena, and open field at walk/trot/canter
• Introduced to obstacles and handles them well
• Stands tied for grooming, baths, fly spray, and the farrier
• Can ground tie
• Recently spent time with a trainer to refresh manners, rebuild confidence, and address past bucking
• Foster continues to ride her and reports she is going beautifully — soft, responsive, and “super broke”

Care:
Dulce’s first adopter started her under saddle but returned her while she was still green. In her next home, she wasn’t ridden consistently, and when restarted she bucked — likely due to lack of fitness, confidence, and clarity. She has bucked with two riders in the past, both during periods of inconsistent work.

Why She’s Amazing:
Dulce is the kind of mare who wins people over without even trying. She’s gentle, affectionate, and deeply trusting despite everything she’s lived through. She’s smart, willing, and genuinely enjoys having a job, and now that she’s back in consistent work, her talent and good mind are shining through. With the right person she’ll make a wonderful partner for ranch riding, playdays, or simply being someone’s favorite horse.
