Rock Hard Doll
I adopted “Rock Hard Doll” (Ricky) now named Denali back in February, and I have been in love ever since. The first week she learnt how to stand still, and ever since she never takes a step when being brushed and tacked! She is hands down the most mellow OTTB I have ever met that has come off the track so recently. Our second ride we went WT and she immediately went into a frame, needless to say it brought me to absolute tears! The first time I worked with her on the ground was completely at liberty, she was able to walk across Liverpools, over bridges, without a single tool in hand. She even would trot beside me at Liberty as well!
Owner: Jill

You are one in a million! I am just so over the moon with how well Chance and I have bonded and I didn't ever think I could love a horse like this again after my pony that I had for 16 years passed away.
