Laurie Darling is a started heel and breakaway mare with a lot of potential. She has been used on a working ranch for doctoring, trailing cattle, and general ranch work, and has also spent time in the mountains navigating rough, demanding terrain.
​
She is described as having plenty of go with no buck, is easy to shoe, and stays honest to ride. Laurie Darling has the foundation to make a solid high-school or pro-level rope horse as she continues to be finished.
​
Despite her work ethic, she has a kind, quiet side—kids enjoy riding her around the arena, where she keeps her head low and is content to walk quietly. She’s the type that will go all day, handle a job, and still stay gentle.
