DD Jorina

• amazing neck 
• balanced conformation
• personality

Jorina has always been "a special child" to us right from the time she was born and literally fell into our arms. She has been extremely personable and easy as a youngster while exhibiting more similarities with her sire than her dam in disposition and movement. 

With 2.5 years of age, Jorina was schooled in hand at the Oregon Horse Centers Mountain Indoor Trail, astonishing everyone with her willingness and bravery, while being calm, curious and easy to work with.

With a little over 3 years of age, Jorina was lightly started under saddle and for the first year the riding foundation was set mostly in walk while focusing on some light/short trail exposure, seat and leg aids, turning and starting on lateral work. We have been a little bit surprised that besides her easy calm disposition, Jorina did actually inherited her dam's big motor and incredible movement, something she kept hidden from us as a youngster. We are not sure which side of her pedigree we need to credit for that always willing, curious and always engaged disposition, but we appreciate it every day. 

As a 4 year old, Jorina is doing great as a walk/trot horse, enjoys regular lunging in w/t/c, is trailering out to other areas for riding and loves the occasional free jumping. That year we focused more trail exposure until the progress in her pregnancy cut our riding season short.

As a 5 year old, Jorina has proven herself as a loving mother and later in the fall returned to the Oregon Horse Center under saddle. She was again excellent and not only took each obstacle in stride but also showed the next generation how it's done! 

We have no doubt that Jorina will be one of the corner stones in our program, both as a riding horse and as a producer.
