“These assessments are based on how these horses respond in their current environment and any change in their current environment, riders, diet, etc could have an effect on the horses' immediate performance. Horses need time to adjust when moved to new surroundings. We highly recommend you visit, spend time with the equines and evaluate the equine before making a decision"

Explain overall training: Galina has had no training for riding. The ranch staff has not put a saddle on her yet but her health and build would make her a good candidate for training to ride. She has shown potential to jump when she wants to be somewhere else so this could be an indication of a future vocation for her.
