This is Dolly! She is 21 years old, and in great shape. I have her papers. We've never had any issues of lameness, being sore, or arthritis. She stands great for the fairer, loads and hauls great. The biggest issue we've had with her is she can be buddy sour. we bought her for my 10 year old but she needs a little more experienced rider. A handy horse kid would do just fine on her, but she can be little stubborn, and hard headed which is why I would recommend someone with a little experience. she has never offered a kick or a buck, but can be a little pushy on the ground. we just had her trimmed last week, and her teeth floated last summer. let me know if you have any question!
