If you don't like turning heads, don't consider buying this horse. She is definitely a showstopper. Not only that, her gaits, friendly/loving nature, attitude and temperament all match her stunning looks with high quality. She's an incredibly quick study showing advanced skills with every training session, is handy & aims to please. Panda is going even better now than in the video here. Lots of additional vids/photos available. WE obstacles are no issue for her. Great lateral work (leg yields, shoulder-in). Used several times now for lessons with advanced beginners. Two students were 12 & 13 years old and still working on connection, but Panda did great. Beautifully developing work ethics (12 yo student felt her first trot leg into canter trans!). Now has several trail rides under her belt, she does quite well! Leads, follows, trots & canters nicely on trail as well. Unusually quiet under saddle, especially for a young horse. 3 easy to ride gaits yet she has the Friesian flair. Rarely spooks & when she does it's just a slight surge forward. Panda has been living on my property for several months now in a very large paddock with other horses 24/7. Having space and friends is our preference as far as her future home. In other words we do not want her to go into a box stall or even just a stall with run. She is very social with all humans and animals, she's just a very friendly, outgoing and sweet/loving girl! Sound with big bare feet. Ties, loads, bathes. Haven't clipped due to breed preference. Negative for both dwarfism and hydrocephalus as sire & dam each tested negative. Rider in photos/vids is 5'7".
