9yr old QH mare-make an offer

Sage-
when we bought her we were told she was registed and had Zippo Pine Bar in her bloodlines but we never got papers so its not for sure
Loads, Ties, Clips, Bathes, Ridden Western goes barefoot
It was my first time ever showing and we placed 4th out of 8 in western grooming and showmanship jr @ the 4-H county show and 4th out of 4 in W/T equitation (all the horses were acting up that day and i've never taken western lessons only english)
She has been said to have a nice head and "that old fashion qh look"
Is great when riding in an arena (indoor or outdoor) or round pen, and anywhere away from the barn, when she is riding near the barn though she really likes to stay near the barn
I would keep her but I want to get into Barrel Racing-make an offer-might consider trade for a beginer-intermediate Barrel-Pole horse, that could do High school Rodeo.

why dont you try and do barrels with her?

I have considered it but she is not built for barrels. Her previous owners showed her in halter and pleasure classes to the point that when I first got her she she would only move in her stall to get a drink or eat, somthing halter class peole train their hoses to do so they dont loose muscle. She is not patterned on barrels and I spent this last year teaching her to do a slow jog for pleasure so it would undo everything I tought her so far. and lastly I dont think she would be happy doing barrels all the time once and a while as a change of pace at a playday or somthing maby but not all the time.

where are you located and do you have any other pictures?

I am located in Eldred, PA. I will have to get more pictures on my computer but I will post them soon.

Okay thanks! I'm located in VA BTW.

Here are some other pictures.

do you know how she's under an english saddle?

I really dont know. I have never tried, because I don't have english tack. I dont know anything about her backround, so it is a possibility that she might have been ridden english, but I wouldn't count on it.
