Swimmer
Swimmer was a wild Corolla mare captured twenty days ago. The vet believes she is 7 years old. She is the biggest Corolla mare that I have seen (perhaps 14.1). She is a fast learner. Today I trimmed her hooves and she went on a two hour trail ride. Yesterday afternoon several of my little riders rode her in the round pen working on stops and turns. This is not a joke.
Swimmer is a great horse, she has learned very fast. I look forward to seeing her ridden 46 miles this Saturday!
