I saw an ad on Craiglist about a FREE Paso Fino mare, 20 years old.
Perfect for my six year old DD? Lead line lessons only so far.......and for me, that I have experience in riding and training Pasos. A horse that both of us can use and ride occassionally but not heavy use.
I'm checking around for boarding, stall and pastures the expenses and what jobs included or not included in it.
Here is the link:

And here is the response from the owner:
I havent measured her but I think my mare is about 14 hands. She has been my favorite horse to ride and has a nice performance gait but I am offering her primarily as a pasture buddy because I believe she is having some arthritis. Last winter I gave her some Cosamine in her feed and it seemed to help a lot. She is registered with the PFHA and is a Plabeyo granddaughter. I have a nice two year old out of her and a two time grand national champion. This year I bred her, she ultrasounded in foal and then miscarried. She is a very easy keeper and gets along well with other horses. She is easy to handle, load and trim. Current coggins.
I am not looking to breed at all. Just a nice riding pleasure horse but I dont think she can handle my weight (230 lbs) but ok for dd.
Look more into it or RUN?
