BB was purchased from us as a 3-year-old by a dear friend in Virginia. She has been sitting on the back burner due to the health condition of her owner. She had a few months of professional training in 2024 and more recently, had 3 months of "restarting" after time off due to her owner's surgeries. She needs a job! She is not a beginner's ride, but is not hot or spooky. She rides out and is learning her flatwork. She can live out or in. Her owner is eager to find her a loving home with someone who wants to help her live up to her potential.
She has no known injuries or vices.
She is located at a private farm in Middleburg, Virginia, and is available to be tried.
