Rivers' Run Ranch

Sept 8th - UPDATE: Just came back from 5 days riding with Kiwi in the mountains - she did great! She has also been riden a few times now this year on the road.  She still needs the "buttons" but ready to take you out into the hills!

Kiwi is a very sweet mare that loves to be cuddled and groomed.  She has come a long way with

minimal work in the 2 years I have owned her. From not having the ability to halter / lead at 5 years old – to where she is today.

Kiwi had 90 days of Parelli training last summer and spent a total of 15 days in the mountains

between the Ya Ha Tinda and Sandy McNabb.  She is able to carry any size person all day long

without tiring (climbing / flat / regardless!).

She has been leased for the last few months, however really not had much work done with her

since we stopped her training last October – will require a refresher.  If you are patient with her, and give her the love and respect she deserves – she will bond with you like no other. She has the makings of being a very best friend!

What is left in her training is the basic “buttons” and hours in the saddle – she does not move of

leg very well, neck raining was doing ok in Oct – but not sure what it is like now. That I know of, she has only been ridden at a walk since last year.

I would love to see this Appy mare go to someone that would give her a job (preferably ranch

work / mountains) however I am told by others with the right training she would make a great

4H Horse.

Finally – Kiwi is UTD on everything.  Farrier / Wormer / Teeth / Shots (strangles / 5-way /

west-nile). She has a very solid build (but could use to lose some pounds) and extremely healthy – never been lame, foundered, or any major injuries.
