Merely has just started schooling dressage and is learning quickly. She has done some light jumping and free jumping. This is a mare even a gelding person like me can love. She has a wonderful foundation in all the basics. She picks up her leads willing and is working on flying changes, she side passes, half passes and has a nice rhythm. We are now working on consistence in her frame and she smart and quick when it come to learning. She is my dad's horse and he has just had 2 heart attacks over the last year and he is still riding her with out doctor approval. He has ridden her mostly western and on lots of trail rides. This is a kind forgiving mare that takes care of her rider while looking to them for guidance.
