miss poco streke aka jewel is a beginner friendly horse. my daughter takes her to barrel shows. she is also great in poles. very calm at shows. walks into the gates would walk around the barrels if you wanted to. no buck etc. easy keeper and no voices. the only reason for selling is that my daughter has two other horses she rides more often. not enough time for all three. jewel also loves just to go on a trail ride. my friends husband was riding her which he is not a rider without any problems on a trail ride. she is young but very calm may take $1000 and a dead broken medium pony...must be very calm and between the age of 6-12 years.
