Vantage Point's Countess
a.k.a. Countess

gray mare
For Sale

Countess is back home!! We had sold her to Wendy in Maryland a year ago. Wendy loves her but decided she wanted a more lazy - sleepy head type horse like the beautiful palomino she purchased from us, Trigg!! So we traded back for Countess!!" She is gorgeous.......so well-trained, backs-up, BEAUTIFUL CANTER, and a smooth gaited ride!! One of the best!!

Birthdate - 4/24/97 13 years old 15 hands Breed: Registered Tennessee Walking Horse Temperament = 1 (1=calm, 10=spirited)

Disciplines (suitable or trained): * Breeding

Countess is a wonderful "family" horse. You can ride double with your toddlers! You can lead 2 -3 children all at the same time on her...... Any child - over 6 yrs. old that experienced in riding to handle a big horse - can ride Countess. She loves children!...and has a slow motion walk when they are on her! When standing in the crossties - children can groom her, walk behind her, do her tail, whatever.....she does not move. She is VERY safe for the entire family to be around and ride! Coutness is So Affectionate! She loves attention....loves to be petted....hugged......and in everything she does............"she is ALWAYS calm and quiet". We have not seen any marish behavior while here....she is just an amazing horse that would be such a joy for anyone that gets her!!!!

Countess is one of those horses that comes along in a lifetime for those of you who really "love to have a good and fun horse to ride!!" She is amazing! She has a slow walk, slow and faster gait, and "The Most Beautiful Canter"!! FUN!! FUN!!! FUN!!

She is quiet, calm, patient - even in the pasture! She stands to mount - and stops on voice command!! Countess is a wonderful "family" horse. If you ride before you "hype her up" with cantering ----You can ride double with your toddlers! You can lead 2 -3 children all at the same time on her......

Any child - over 8 yrs. old that is experienced in riding a big horse - can ride Countess. She loves children!...and has a slow motion walk when they are on her! Countess can canter and when you canter her awhile.....she loves doing it.....and gets a little more energetic......So it is best to ride children before you get her worked up into a fast gait. She doesn't do anything bad or dangerous......just More Energy.

When standing in the crossties - if one did not use common sense when it comes to children as I So Recommend!!.....She stands so still that children could groom her, walk behind her, do her tail, whatever.....she does not move. But again, use commone sense when it comes to children and with that.....no horse is worth the risk. But "if" one were to do it....Countess would be one to trust.

She is VERY safe for the entire family to be around and ride! Countess is So Affectionate! She loves attention....loves to be petted....hugged......and in everything she does............"she is ALWAYS calm and quiet". She is not a total deadhead but she has a lot of "head sense"! "She Listens"! She accommodates her rider....if you ride her hard and fast.....she will be more energetic in her personality. If you ride her slow and easy.....she is very laid back.....relaxed.

We have not seen any marish behavior while here....she is just an amazing horse that would be such a joy for anyone that gets her!!!!

"Countess" is truly one of the "very best" horses we have had! She is a beautiful mare! Great for all ages! An awesome trail horse with "the smoothest ride"! Anyone will be so blessed to own this amazing horse!

Countess has a faster gait for those of you who would enjoy that! SHE HAS A WONDERFUL CANTER!!!!! Riding alone - she will come right back down to a very slow walk "with no hesitation"...and do that all day! When trail riding with a group, she has a bit more energy. Countess is good at what she does and She loves What She Does!!! Beautiful gaits! SO much Fun to Ride! Such a proud happy horse!!

She will ride alone - or leave a group to go on a different trail! Countess is a VERY loving and affectionate mare! She backs up! Will ride calmly in traffic, Loud Noises!, hard wind (see her videos).....and will cross ditches, creeks, logs, or whatever you ask her to do!

She is the sweetest mare.....In EVERY way! She is bred the very best with top side - Pride's Generator bloodlines.
