World's kindest mare for lease

Want to build a relationship with the world's sweetest mare?

Up for partial or full lease in Briones / Martinez: Emma, 20 year old Appendix mare.

About Emma: Emma is one of the most gentle and loving horses I've ever had the pleasure of knowing. She responds to a soft touch, kind words and light cues / soft seat / light hands under saddle. She needs an intermediate + rider, not because she's dangerous, but because despite her age, she maintains her former polo pony speed and responsiveness! Emma is fine for flatwork in the arena (w/t/c) and for trail rides near her barn. She loves going out with her best buddy / stall neighbor (pictured here). Emma has perfect ground manners, and truly bonds with her person. She is kind, loving, gentle and curious - her former leasor loves her so much she basically bought a carbon copy gelding and kept him next to Emma so she could still see her!

About the barn: Lovely, low-key barn in the rolling hills of Briones with an indoor arena (hello winter riding!), round pen and ride off trails. You have a built in riding buddy (two actually) in Emma's next door neighbor's owner and her pasture mate's owner. She must remain onsite - no offsite lease options available.

Emma is available for between 2-5 days per week - please inquire for prices. I'm truly looking for a partner in Emma's care, someone who ideally wants to form a connection with their equine partner and spend time with an exceptional mare.
