Five year old mare she's been used for a lesson horse and shown. Sonita has been ridden on cattle and the mechanical cow very correct on her stops. Would work for a novice amateur or youth rider. Works trail drags the log, open& closes gates, trot overs, turns around in the box, throw a rope off of her. Very correct in turn arounds, nice stop, easy lead change. We were chasing points on our other horses and now our son's headed to college and we need to cut back on the herd. Very quiet and patient tries hard to please. Check out the video on Youtube.
