We bought Mocha off the track in November of 2022.
Since Mocha stopped racing, she has achieved a lot in preparation for her next career! Here are some of the highlights:
She has been started with some introductory dressage.
Mocha has been jumping up to 0.9 m. (3'-0") and can definitely go higher.
Lots of hacks, including hacking at night through the woods, walking over wooden bridges, walking and trotting through streams, walking and trotting along the side of a paved road with traffic going by in both directions.
Show jumping, including jumps over walls, oxers, a Liverpool, 1- and 2-stride combinations.
Jumping over a 2'- and 3'-wide ditch.
Mocha is super "in-your-pocket" sweet, and is possibly the most sensible horse we've ever owned. Not too much gets her flustered. Super-safe for novice riders. Incredibly smooth trot and canter. Doesn't bite (people), no buck, no kick. Every time we work her on something new, she picks it up in a flash.
She stands for the farrier, and loads and unloads from the horse trailer easily.
She loves scotch mints and/or an apple and/or carrots after a ride.
