Mollie was rescued from the kill pen after the October 2010 Enumclaw auction. This rescue was made possible by Auction Horses, who raised funds for her purchase, then transferred possession to Cowgirl Spirit to rehab and adopt out. Mollie is approximately 4 years old and is 14.1hh. Mollie appears to be very well trained and level headed under saddle. Mollie is headstrong and tests her handlers, so she will require an experienced handler to allow her to reach her full potential. She is also definitely a more dominant mare within the Cowgirl Spirit herd. Mollie is currently enrolled in Boot Camp at Firecreek Stables in Monroe, WA – click here to see her training blog.
Adoption Fee: $750

Horse Updates
2011-12-29 08:12:00Ahh, another long stretch without posts. Sorry, everyone! You know what it is like during the holidays. Here goes with some updates. Kal: Kal is fattening up like a little porkie pie. He's been getting turn out and exercise and lots of yummy food. It was our hope to start him in training, but as it turns out, Kal needs some more time off for us to get him some needed body work. He's a bit sore through his body, so our resident body worker and vet are going to keep working on him, and we'll...
Not So Loud!
2011-07-28 09:14:00Last night Mollie and I had a most excellent lesson with my trainer. We worked on connection to the outside rein, being in front of my leg without rushing, half halts, and then the almighty canter departs. So many ah-ha moments last night. We worked so well together, and really got some great work under our belts. Probably one of my biggest accomplishments was figuring out that Mollie wants a very quiet canter request. She does best from the sitting trot, and a very quiet canter cue. I was as...
Show Synopsis
2011-07-25 13:29:00So this past weekend, we took Mollie to her first dressage show, and I rode her in Training Level test 2 and 3. Thought I'd give you a little break down of how *I* thought it went :) Overall, it was a great experience. I was really nervous- beginning the evening prior to the show through the morning. My brain kept wanting to forget the tests, and I wanted to throw up. I think I was nervous because Mollie is so green, and I was afraid of making fools out of ourselves. But once I got to th...
Reliable Horse
2011-07-17 10:19:00Mollie and I had another nice session yesterday. I changed up her tack a wee bit, and put her on the longe to make sure everything would stay in place. She was moving really well on the longe, that I didn't feel the need to work her much more in that manner, so quickly mounted up and got to business riding. The core of our workout was improving our canter - both transitions, picking up leads, and the quality of the gait. Mollie is such a great little horse- she really does try to learn as muc...
