(ok? but she won't be doing much more than walk trot canter for a year or so, then she might start doing side passing and flying changes, however she won't just know what to do, it will be utterly confusing to her, like it's alien to her.)
Nadia smiled "can't see her being a jumper. Though the way she holds herself, she's nicely rounded, a natural bend in her body and neck, a natural position unlike those horrid Rollkur riding muts" by muts, she meant the people who do that to her horses, "She'll do you proud in dressage, but she won't do much good in anything but hacking at the moment and maybe the lowest level dressage. and even after she's broken in, 6 months or more before you can even consider competeing her, then another 6 months or so before you can actually be serious in competeing with her. for a year it will just be experiance, you understand the time it takes with green horses? they don't just pop into dressage ability like Dance is with his dressage and jumping, took me 6 years for me to get him where he is now, and he's still progressing." she spoke and called dance in, though she didn't hook a rope on him, he'd done this with two stallions, a gelding and one other mare before, he knew what to do. as she moved in a circle keeping the whip in a neutral position but making sure the mare knew she had to keep trotting, she stood carefully, walking in a small circle, and as she did so, Dance pirouted after her as not to get in her way nor the mares simply following Nadia's every movement. "It will take about 3 years to get her to good competitive level, and she won't even be close to competeing at the higher levels. She looks like hard work, which in time will take longer with the training. so i guess maybe 6 or 7 years before you could consider being in the highest levels. Again, you aint gonna compete for 6 months, not unless you have a rideable horse of course" she grinned and clucked her tounge. "also depends on how long this takes. I'll stop when she does, then tomorrow it might not be as long, and the next day so on." she spoke.
