Current assessment and personality: Dahlia arrived to us needing a refresher on her ground work as she had not been handled in several years. She has improved a lot on her socialization and ground manners, but is in need of an adopter to finish her under saddle training . She has not yet been ridden under saddle. She would make a great companion horse for an intermediate adopter that doesn't mind polishing up her ground work as she gets along really well with other horses or would make an advanced adopter a fun project horse to bring along! She has recently been introduced to a saddle and bridle was super well behaved.
