Nyssa will walk, trot, lope, stop, and back. She has the prettiest little jog and all of her gaits are smooth as can be. She has potential to be a playday horse or even a western pleasure horse.She is great in the field with mares and geldings, and low in the pecking order. She is easy to catch and also content being in a stall. Nyssa stands for bathing, grooming, saddling, mounting, and dismounting. She loads and unloads in the trailer with ease. She hauls well with zero problems. She has all the brains, size, and looks you can ask for!A history of good horsemanship, the ability to provide sufficient care with good vet, farrier and peer references are important. If you are a first time horse owner, Heart of Phoenix will require you to board at a facility for the first year while you learn more about care; they encourage everyone to take advantage of riding lessons.
