Description: Willow has an unique past about this one. A woman named Gale G. From Mt. Vernon had stumbled upon our website and claimed that she bred for Willow and had photos. Well upon careful consideration, with photos to prove, and her details matched ours it has appeared that Mrs.G may have actually bred Willow. Well, legend has it, since all we have to go on is hearsay, was that the woman fell upon hard times and sold Willow to a man who dealt with rodeo animals and trained Willow as a barrel racer and to cut cows. Now she can get up and go, quick mover and not for the meek at heart.
That is besides the point, with her beginnings. We ended up with her when her, and an older appy mare were offered on the CBER horses in need of help section by a woman who could no longer take care of them for various reasons. The woman backed out then (april of 06') and then contacted us once more in October of 06' and requested we come get the girls. We made the long haul to where they were being kept and then brought them home.
Willow has some aggression issues that consists of lashing out and biting. Who knows what happened in her past, but we know that biting is NOT an acceptable behavior. She is testy and an over all typical alpha mare. She respected no one, tried to get rid of you in the saddle and a total alpha with her panties in a twist.
Since November she has come along ways and has made her way into be a permanent resident among our herd and may continue her profession at a later time.
