Li'l Red Thistle

Quarter Horse:  grade

Barn Name: Thistle

​

Description:

Red roan mare, star with sock on the left rear. 

Height: 13.3 hands

Foaled: 2006

​

Thistle knows many tricks and happily does Liberty work. 

​

Thistle hasn't been ridden in a long while but would be rideable with some consistent work. Cadence, her owner,  was diagnosed with scoliosis which ended her horse dreams, as riding is out of the question, and walking or standing are also painful.

Temperament:
​Thistle is sweet and loves attention but isn't pushy enough to ask for it. Even with other horses, she wants to be social  however she generally is not high enough in the pecking order to accomplish much beyond a mid-range friendships. So she is generally at the bottom tier in a herd setting. In everyday horsey skills, she stands tied, leads, stands for the farrier,  loads with a bit of patience. She is a bit timid of blanketing but loves a warm blanket in winter. She does several tricks.
