"Holly" is a big, muscular, well-boned and nicely-bred 14-year-old AQHA mare with some wonderful OLD Quarter Horse bloodlines from back when the horses were built to work hard all day long and stay SOUND into old age. Holly is quiet, kind and honest and has a no-nonsense attitude about life. She isn't spooky on the trails or being ridden down the side of the road to the local neighborhood grocery, and goes pretty much anywhere you point her.  Holly is very well-broke, but hasn't had lots of 'fancy' arena training for the show arena or anything; she is a good, hard worker and can stand for weeks or months, then be caught up - saddled and head down the trail or road without a lot of silliness. She has been introduced to barrels; has been used on the ranch for gathering and roping cattle in the branding pens; and has been 'out of the box' a bit, but is not being sold as a 'roping horse' - rather as an all-around using or pleasure horse. She neck reins nicely, is usually ridden on the bit, but can also ride on a loose rein if you check her back a bit and let her know what you expect. She has lots of get-up-and-go (Holly does NOT need spurs) and LOADS of power and strength, so can carry a good-sized person easily to get a job done. Holly probably would do best with an intermediate or fairly confident rider - she doesn't have any vices, but if you ask her to move out - she DOES. Her ground manners are excellent - she LOVES a bath, is good to catch, lead, tie, bridle and saddle, and stands nicely to mount. She gets along well with other horses, easy to shoe and loads and hauls super. Holly hasn't had any experience as a drill team horse, but with her nice confident attitude, her owner thinks she might make an excellent drill horse and a super break-away roper. Holly is sound, healthy, current on her shots, worming, dentistry and shoes and lives in Powell Butte, in the central Oregon area. I have lots more pictures of Holly too, so just ask...

PRICE:  $3,500 - a bit negotiable to a great home
