| Bourbon Indulgence "Liza Jane" was purchased as an 18 month old filly. This mare was a beginner lesson horse for Suzanne as a 4 year old. She is one of the most honest horses we have ever met. Once taught something, Liza remembered it forever. As a project horse for one of Suzanne's students, this mare attended two shows -- scoring in the 50-60s at both Intro & Training level. During a clinic with Barney Mullady, he approached us about selling this mare to one of his Ohio clients (a 75 yr old Master of the Hunt). Barney explained that he needed a very quiet, rock solid mare who would take care of her rider. After one ride, Liza was sold. In his words: "point her at a jump and she goes over it", even when he was purposely off balance or "flopping all over the place". Several months after Liza left for Ohio, Barney came back for a clinic with the following update. "She's doing great. Every time she goes out to a hunt, I get phone calls asking if I can get more like her. Her 75yr old owner/rider is jumping 4ft for the first time in his life. She's just so solid and honest. The only complaint I have is that: after riding her, these junior riders suddenly think they are much better riders than they actually are." | ||||||||
