Thornhill Keeping It Classy

13.2hh, 2yo GVHS registered

Gypsy Vanner mare

located in Oregon

Available to 5* home with references. Classy is a very special horse: fearless, agreeable and aims to please, with all black feather and "buttermilk" buckskin in color. Ample thick, straight mane, and feather and tail, a slight wave in tail which hits the ground.

Trailers nicely, good with farrier & vet. Highly curious & calm. Easily lead, bathed, clipped, and all basics with groundwork completed. UTD on all care. Microchipped. UTD on vaccines. Standing 13.2hh currently.

Training:

*At home, liberty work & obstacles for the goal of showing in Mountain Trail

*Handled regularly when young, 1 brief round of training completed (exposure to a lot, planned to do parades)

*In training with Mary Ka of Equine Harmony Connection: R+ "clicker" training & positive reinforcement. Targeting, long reining, liberty work, obstacles, showing and experiences off-farm. Exposed to Alpaca, Llama, goats and dogs, farm equipment.

*First clinic this summer & she was fabulous. Appropriate for her age, but exceeded expectations in a new setting with different horses, sights & sounds.

Easy keeper, out 24/7/365 with my Fell ponies. No known health issues. Hardy as they come. No rugging, kept natural currently. Access to free choice shelter. Middle of the pack in terms of herd dynamics. Fair to other horses if she is higher in hierarchy, and gentle to younger ones, including foals. An amazing mentor and big sister to incoming foals and imported Fell ponies that arrive with minimal handling and need a calm, confident spirit to lean on arrival. Gentle, old soul, with a definite sense of humor.
