if you just quietly do your job without a lot of flash and thunder. Baton Rouge is a Corolla mare who is the least gaited of all of our Corollas. However, her canter is as smooth as riding a rabbit. She has ordinary color, is nondescript, one might even say plain. She is also a first rate horse.
Lloyd has been handling her a lot lately. She has always been great to ride just a touch unfriendly and not particularly people oriented. (She had to be captured for being overly familiar with humans e.g. biting tourists). He has brought out the best in her simply by steady, calm repeated handling. He has blended control and affection in just the right combination.
She produced a beautiful Corolla stallion when bred to Tradewind. That stallion, The Black Drink, is part of the off site breeding program and is owned by Boys Home of Covington, VA
