Shadow pictured in Nov 2005.


Shadow shown being ridden after 8+ years of no riding and just being a broodmare. She remembered holding still for being bridled and the rider getting on, she did her gaits in the indoor arena easily and tucked her nose without a martingale. She prefers a very light hand and will tend to evade the bit by getting behind the vertical. She is not a confident horse and at this stage, prefers to ride behind another calm horse on the trail. When she spooks or becomes afraid, she typically just becomes a statue and does not move.
