He would do well with low-level showing/4H for someone willing to work with an experienced trainer. DR needs someone who will keep his mind engaged. He is currently shod in front, but depending on his workload may benefit from being shod on all 4. Due to the anatomy of his front feet, he does best with a corrective trimming program. Suitability: DR had bone chips removed from his right knee in 2020 and will benefit from ongoing joint maintenance. He has been ridden at the walk, trot, and lope since returning to CANTER and has also done well with his trips around the field and around the pond. DR is looking for a patient person to give him the refresher he needs and would be suitable for an advanced beginner to intermediate rider. Training: DR is a returning CANTER grad that has been trained at the walk, trot, and canter. He's made friends with other four-footed friends on the farm cows, donkeys and goats don't faze him.

She is currently our trainer's favorite mount due to her impeccable ground manners and willing nature.DIAMOND ROAD “DR” is the handsome partner you've been looking for. She is a large, wide mare who won't fit in your average FQHB saddles and will need a wide saddle to accommodate her build. We believe she could live a happy, productive life as your every day riding partner, but we don't recommend her for any high impact activities. Suri will need an advanced intermediate rider or above with a solid seat. She could also be well suited for low level dressage and has spent much of her rehabilitation period working on the basics of rhythm, relaxation, and suppleness. Her ideal career would be to be a trail horse, as this seems to bring her the most happiness. With the help of our equine chiropractor and proper saddle fit, we have made great strides toward Suri becoming a more relaxed, happier mount. She demonstrated classic behaviors of a horse subjected to poor saddle fit in the past, and we have worked to address this problem. After being evaluated by our vet, they discovered very slight kissing spine, but it was determined that it was unlikely that this was the primary reason for her behaviors. As a riding horse she has demonstrated anxious behaviors when riding and being saddled. ![]() Suri has now returned to 24/7 turnout, as well as riding, and we are pleased to report her as sound. ![]() She was a model citizen during this time and never gave staff or her trainers any complaints. In the fall of 2021 she sustained a slight tendon injury and spent 6 months on stall rest. Suri is a solid built Quarter Horse mare who turns heads everywhere she goes. ![]()
