For your consideration. Onyda Prim is a mustang mare from the Muddy Creek HMA in Southern Utah. She is 10 years old, roughly 14.3 hands, and 1,200 lbs. She has a gloriously thick mane and tail. She has hard hooves; we have never had to shoe her.

We got her in 2020 from a friend who had TIP-trained her (halter, lead, trailer load, and stand for a farrier). She is our daughter’s 1st horse. We insisted on getting her a more seasoned horse based on her lack of experience, but she was determined to keep Prim. They have both grown and learned much over the past 5 years. Our daughter is planning on going to college next year, and though it’s been a difficult decision, she doesn’t want her horse to be a pasture pet. This horse needs a job to do. We believe she would make a great endurance or ranch horse due to her incredible stamina.

She responds to a bosal and a side pull halter. Never rode her in a bit. She has overcome her fear of vehicles while riding along the road, crosses water willingly, and loves splashing the water with her hooves. She has been on many trail rides. Will lead, follow, trot, canter, back, and side pass. She has been a great trail horse!

This last summer, we tried arena work with her (poles, barrels, keyhole, potato race, water race, and 5 in a row). She handled it well and could have great potential going that route as well. She has willingly tried everything we’ve asked of her. She could be a great all-around horse in the right hands. Our daughter loves to mount Prim bareback from the ground and hang out with her in the corral - often reading to her or doing liberty work. Prim is very responsive to subtle body language cues and learns quickly. Prim will come to our daughter’s whistle. She has lived with a gelding and another mare and has done well with our dogs and cats. Yes, she has some quirks that we are happy to talk about with those who are interested in learning more about her.

Prim responds best to a patient, consistent, and clear leader.
