LaLa

La Collotita aka LaLa is a 9-year-old AQHA mare standing 14.2 hands. Her pedigree includes Chicks Beduino, Mr Eye Opener, and First Down Dash. She may be on the smaller side, but she has grit, heart, and a real desire to please. When she is turned out her, her athleticism is amazing.  I’ve been working with LaLa for the past few weeks, and she continues to improve every ride. She’s one that slipped through the cracks and simply ended up with people who didn’t match her needs. When I first started her, she was more standoffish — never reactive or unsafe,  just seemed lost if that makes sense. She has really started to come around, looks for people and follows you around.  In the arena, she is willing and has plenty of try, which is one of my favorite things about her. LaLa walks, trots, canters, is riding around soft , backs up, moving off leg pressure, and flexions. Very enjoyable to rider and work with. I took her back to the basics to begin rebuilding a solid foundation, and every session she shows progress. She is a mare who responds best to a soft but confident rider as she doesn’t do well with forceful handling. While under saddle she has not offered any bad behavior such as bucking, rearing or bolting.  She did have a problem with standing still while mounting and instantly wanting to walk off but we have constantly been correcting this and she is extremely better. LaLa stands quietly while tied, bathed , grooming and saddling. Lala will do best with a confident rider that will continue on with her.  I firmly believe LaLa has the ability to make someone a very nice horse, and I could see her thriving in the barrel pen as she has the talent and the grit. All the hard work is done and with the right person, she will work hard for you and continue to blossom. LaLa has no vices such as cribbing, weaving, pacing, or biting. She is current on hoof care, teeth, shots, and deworming.
