Sierra

ARRIVED	August 2008
ADOPTABILITY	ADOPTED! Went home 12/08
SPONSORED BY	Feed: sponsored Medical: available
BREED/AGE	12yo BLM wild mustang mare, no brand, 60 days professional riding training

Summary:	We were planning on meeting Sierra and her mom, Linda, under wonderful terms -- Sierra had a good basic riding foundation but needed some high skills education and she was going to come to us some time winter 2008 for training. Then Sierra's mom took a terrible slip and fall which required hip replacement. Sierra came early for her training while mom was laid up. Sadly, Linda has had to admit that she will never be able to really ride again, and doesn't want to leave such a happy, eager, willing riding horse stuck as just a lawn ornament the rest of her Life. So, Linda has donated Sierra to CWER for us to find her a working forever home. We're thrilled to announce that Sierra is adopted and will be going home with Paris and Sonny!
History:	We loved having Sierra here for training, and enjoy her still now. We look forward to finding her the right forever partner and future.
November 2008	Sierra is a pure joy to ride. She is VERY eager to try to understand what is asked of her and to obey instruction. She is fairly forward, and moves off into a trot now with minimal input from her rider. Her balance is exceptional at a walk and improving every ride at the trot. She understands leg yielding and will move her shoulder via leg as well. She will halt with minimal rein input by rider weight and voice adjustment alone. Sierra's mom reports she can be a little spooky when trail riding outside. We've not yet explored this with her, but are hopeful we can help her past any fears she may have.
December 2008	Sierra has proven herself to be ideal as an early intermediate riders mount and even lesson horse. We've had a variety of riders work with Sierra, and she's shown herself to be patient and easy and very responsive to an instructor on the ground for all her working sessions. We are thrilled that she is going home with Pam to join Sonny and Paris and Tennyson, and that Sally will also be fostering with them this winter!

Pedigree: unknown	Apparently Sierra and a group of wild mustangs were kept on a farmer's facility. When he passed away, the horses were split up and went to other homes. Sierra came to Linda's world, and learned her fantastic ground manners and superb behavior riding at a walk while with Linda.
