Her Background
Spud has played six years of high speed, high impact, high intensity polocrosse. (Side note: If you’re interested in learning about this sport, go to http://americanpolocrosse.org). This little-known sport requires athleticism, speed, determination, and agility in the horse. This mare has been played in and excelled at the highest level of polocrosse due to her true love of the game.
Being an incredibly tough horse, Spud has never been ill or lame. She has been kept in a variety of living conditions, including the cold, dry prairie of Colorado and the lush, warm climate of south east Texas.
She has been ridden English, Western, and Australian and always in a smooth mouth snaffle and no tie-downs.
I have done some beginning work with her on barrels and poles and she looks promising with incredible speed.
