Madara

Madara is a 2007 AQHA palomino mare, 15 hands and 1,100 pounds, being sold out of Breckenridge, Colorado for $8,000. Her owners of eight years have ridden her extensively on Colorado mountain trails, including Steamboat Springs and along the Snake River near Jackson, Wyoming, and describe her as sure-footed on steep terrain, water crossings, and rocky trails. She was initially started as a cutting horse and has since been used in ranch rodeo, barrel racing, cutting, and sorting work, walking, trotting, and cantering off leg and body-posture cues. The sellers, who report thirty years of riding experience and involvement running the Summit Valley Horse Center, call her the best horse they've owned, note she has no history of bucking or spooking, stands for the farrier, loads easily, and is desensitized to traffic, dogs, and other animals. She is being sold in good health with current vaccinations and deworming, only because the sellers are retiring from riding due to the wife's neck condition. Photos show a sturdy, well-mannered palomino with flaxen mane comfortably carrying riders of different ages and skill levels, including a young child, through varied mountain and trail settings.

Described as in excellent health and condition with excellent hooves, current on regular vaccinations and deworming.
