Registered Arabian mare is for sale. If you want a fun to ride horse, this one is for you. Wether it be in the ring or on the trail or around a barrel, she will put a smile on your face. She just loves to go. The dog was not helping out much, she thinks the horse ought to go where she wants it too! She has done just about it all. No spook or buck, no bite or kick. I am not a professional, these are for fun and for demonstration only.
