Miss Pembroke’s first Training Challenge trainer, Bernie Wilimitis, feels that she has likely had some negative experiences with people in the past. When she first got to him, she was nervous about everything and ready to explode. He worked hard to rebuild her trust in humans – and did a fabulous job. He started her under saddle and rode her on trails and in an arena.

Miss Pembroke’s trainer says, “She is a good looking horse and she is smooth. Moves out nice at the walk, smooth rhythmic trot, and a rocking chair type canter. I can see her as an English/Dressage horse or trail horse. She has some natural carriage and break at the poll. In the pasture, she will show off her extended trot. On the trails, this is where she is most calm actually. She is curious and loves to lead the pack. Not afraid of much on the trails even when riding by herself.”

She spent some time with trainer Darrell Gardner as well, and the two worked in an arena and over man-made obstacles. She was adopted as a ranch horse, but she did not work out and was returned. She's spent time with a non-pro who is focused on riding her English. They worked in an arena and taking short trail rides.
