Talented and athletic mustang mare

Siouxsie is a mustang who was born on the range in Salt Wells, WY. She was adopted and trained for the 2024 Wild to Mild TIP Challenge and has remained with her trainer ever since. She rides english and western, she is soft in the bridle and has correct body control and good brakes. She has jumped a few fences under saddle and was brave and careful with her feet. Sidepasses, backs up, turns on shoulders & haunches, leg yields. She loves obstacles and is brave going over them; she is still new to some of the things shown in the videos (dragging, picking up and carrying flags), but was very willing and with some more practice will be quite confident. 
Her groundwork skills are solid: she trailer loads, stands for the farrier and the vet, and stands tied. Stands to get tacked up and lunges all 3 gaits staying soft on the line and responding to voice cues. Good for grooming, fly spraying, baths. 
Siouxsie would be suited for an experienced rider as she is green. She is still building confidence — can be tense or get startled with people in her space, and takes a bit to build trust with a new person. As such, Siouxsie does well having guidance from a confident leader, and consistency is her best friend.
