Duchess – Brains, Beauty and Built to Last
2022 Perlino Mare | 15.1hh | Crossbred | Ranch, Trail, English & All-Around Partner
Duchess is a truly one-of-a-kind 4-year-old 15.1h perlino crossbred mare who turns heads everywhere she goes. With her rare and thoughtful blend of ¼ Quarter Horse, ¼ Shire, ¼ Friesian, and ¼ Andalusian, she combines athletic ability, substance, and elegance in a way that’s hard to find.
She’s extra unique in every sense — from her striking color to her trainability and natural talent. Duchess is the kind that picks things up quickly and enjoys doing anything you can throw at her. She’s a beautiful, uphill and floaty mover with presence, yet she’s practical and handy enough to step right into ranch work.
Duchess has been used for real ranch chores, including doctoring, sorting, and loading trucks. She side-passes both directions, rides one-handed or direct rein, and has a great handle. She’s confident and level-headed in busy environments and is good with pigs, goats, dogs, sleds, tarps, and flags. She’s comfortable over water, brush, and logs, and has been started over cross-country style jumps.
Her demeanor is one of her best qualities — sweet, people-loving, and willing. She was home-raised and with us since she was just a baby, and her full brother is the same type. They both consistently showcase their good minds and kind personalities. As a young mare with an exceptional mind and solid foundation, Duchess has her whole future ahead of her and is perfectly suited to continue on in an English program or as a trail and all around horse. She is the kind you can finish and shape your way and enjoy for years to come.
