I have a 2009 unregistered QH mare for sale. We bought her for the kids to learn on and she is gentle. Easy to catch and groom, stands good for the farrier. I would not consider her a beginners horse unless you are pretty handy with giving instructions. She has her own mind and will need a rider with more confidence and a little experience to keep her in line. She is sometimes a little trailer shy.She is sound and travels easily all over our hilly pastures. West Pocatello.
