Rogue is a baby doll! Her low price
only reflects her conformational issue
with a "toe out" on one leg. It
absolutely does not reflect her
temperament, soundness, looks or
ability! A young horse as beautiful,
elegant, athletic, safe, sane, kind,
willing and forgiving as she is would
normally be in the $10,000 price range
bracket.
Rogue is "all girl".
Very gentle, sweet and loving. She
loves to be pampered, handled, groomed,
bathed or even just hanging out with
people. She does gravitate toward
humans more than horses, but having said
that, she is just very sweet and gentle
with any horse in the pasture.
Never a pinned ear or scowl ..
she always has the sweetest expression,
and is always quick to say "hello"!
This would be a perfect mare for
somebody who just loves to hang out with
their horses .. she has a lot of love to
give a lucky person or family. She is
very similar in nature to Mirage, our
arabian mare.
She has wonderful
ground manners. She stands quietly for
grooming, bathing, farrier, vet, tacking
up etc. Very quiet and sane under
saddle. Despite the conformational
issue, she is smooth and willing (and
comparatively correct) under saddle.
She is a great horse for an advanced
beginner upwards. She is lean and
leggy, making her ideal for a junior
rider as well as an adult.
She is
soft in the hand, willing to move
forward (although she will be ploddy and
slow for a more nervous rider or a less
skilled rider). She has great brakes,
too! She stands quietly to be mounted
and is not eager to charge off once her
rider is mounted. If anything, she is a
little slow in the beginning and needs a
nice, long warm up in a long and low
frame. She remains very tuned in to her
rider. I have taken her on trails with
other horses, all of us trotting along
at a fairly quick pace. One small
half-halt and Rogue will immediately
hesitate and wait for you to tell her to
either slow down or continue at the
faster pace. This is quite remarkable
for such a young horse, especially when
all the horses around her are going at
full clip. This is one of her best
attributes, in my opinion. There is
nothing better than enjoying a faster
pace trail with your friends, knowing
that you can trust your horse and that
she will stay obedient and tuned into
your commands. A huge safety factor
that is often
underestimated.

She is a very typey
hunter, both in her frame, looks and
movement. She has a lovely, smooth,
long-strided canter that is rhythmic and
regular. The trot is dependent upon the
rider!!! She can go slow and smooth, or
really lengthen and move out. She most
likely would not make it far beyond
First Level dressage!
She has
just been started over jumps and she
LOVES it. She is careful, bold,
balanced and careful. She does not take
off after each jump and she remains soft
in the hand, attentive, willing and
quiet. She has just been started over
jumps, so she can still be classified as
"green" over jumps.
A fantastic
horse for local hunter shows (if
conformation is not an issue). She
would also make a great trail horse,
family horse or best friend. She is
extremely beautiful, but she is not
papered, therefore I do not recommend
breeding a non-papered mare due to the
burden it places on rescue facilities
nationwide.
Rogue is up to date
on her vaccinations, coggins, farrier
and wormer. She is currently barefoot
and trimmed on a five weekly
basis.
To the best of my
knowledge, Rogue has no history of
illness or injury (bar the "toe out" as
described above). She does not bite,
buck, rear, kick, windsuck, crib, stall
walk or show any other vices EXCEPT she
does weave in her stall! A weave door
would be recommended to help curb
this.
Rogue LOVES her food and is
extremely motivated by it! :-) She is
a fairly easy keeper. She is currently
on 2 Scoops of Seminole Blue Ribbon High
Efficiency (12% protein, 8% fat) per
day. She is on approximately 20 hours
grass turnout with approximately 4-6
flakes of T&A Hay per day. She is on a
sand-colic prevention program with all
of our horses and receives bran/mineral
oil/metamucil twice a week. Apart from
electrolytes and daily wormer, at this
time, Rogue is on no other
supplements.
Rogue is only 5
years old and although she has proven
herself to be very sane, intelligent,
kind and safe .. she obviously has some
maturing to do. She could excel even
further, I believe, with a competent and
kind hunter trainer.
Rogue is
only for sale to an approved, loving and
permanent home. She really is a super
young horse with the sweetest
temperament. It would be wonderful to
place her into an appreciative home
where her lovely nature will be welcomed
and nurtured.
Please, no
inquiries on whether she will do
barrels, jumping over 4' etc. Her build
and her conformation will not be up to
these types of demands. She would
definitely give her all to anybody,
regardless of what she asked -
therefore, it is up to me to protect her
and insure she goes to the most suitable
home. This is the type of mare that
would push herself too far in order to
please her rider, and it is imperative
that she goes to a family who understand
where her limits are and to enjoy her
for the beautiful qualities she has.
This is such a forgiving and sweet mare
that would be tempting for a less
experienced rider to keep on asking or
pushing when she has nothing left to
give. It would be too easy to break her
down or take advantage of her wonderful
temperament. We are looking for a very
special home where somebody will cherish
her, enjoy her and keep her at lower
level shows within her capabilities and
enjoy miles of safe trails with
her.
