Hi Brenda,
I know a lady who was in tears two days ago because the fox trotter gelding she had finally decided to buy after two months of trying-him-out time, proved not to be sound.
Barbara is in her 50's and a life long rider, but she seems to have some fear now. She loves fox trotters, but is only going to be happy with a very safe well-trained gaited horse.
If you think Ruby Ray would fill the bill, her phone # is 541-840-4506.
You can tell her that Nancy from Creekside referred you to her.

really obvious when you hop on her for a ride--she is fast and SMOOTH!
She is a quality mare, whether you want to show, trail ride or use her
for breeding. No special bit/saddle/rider position or knowledge of
gaited horses needed, she just does her thang. :) She is an excellent
level headed trail horse, goes right over bridges, through water and up
and down the steepest hills. Excellent work ethic, will go all day.
Not hot or spooky. Just finished 60 days pro training with Tony
Fitzjarrell, give him a call and see if she's perfect for you! 503-824-
4095 She has had several foals, easy breeder, no problems foaling and
is an excellent mother. $3500 OBO, located in Molalla, OR
