Wise Harmony- Available for Adoption!
Friday, June 28 2013
Wise Harmony is 2007, 16.1 1/2 hand, chestnut mare. She is ready for adoption for $400 in Marysville, OH. So racing might not have been her thing, but Harmony has enough talent and heart for a different discipline. At first glance at her in her stall she doesn’t get your attention, but as soon as she is under saddle she is much more impressive. She is a bigger bodied mare with a good brain and sweet disposition. She also has a good work ethic once she gets past her nervousness of having a new job because she is a sensitive mare and wants to do well. She has come a long way in a short period of time and if her rider is soft, patient and quiet with her, the payoff is big. She will soften, round up, and work in a nice frame with good rhythm and balance. Stephanie Moon Photo Harmony gets along well with the other mare in turn out and she enjoys her time outside. She is respectful to handle, likes attention and has no vices. Harmony will be suitable for as a Dressage or pleasure horse and may be able to hop over an occasional fence
