Mighty

Pure Cañada Criollo Born 2007

Brave Mighty and Mary Jane lead a river crossing in La Cañada

We found this pretty little mare on our first 2011 riding trip into Oaxaca’s gorgeous canyon region, known as La Cañada. Criollo is the native breed in Mexico and renown for being very hearty horses.

Mighty gives her best whether on the trail, in a class or being a mom.

Tally Wren rides Mighty over Palmillo Pass just to the west of Rancho Pitaya

She’s only about 13 hands and 4 years old but is a very smart girl who loves to learn. Her other attributes: big heart, kind eyes, hard hooves, fast step and lots of energy.

Mighty has become a versatile horse. She loves to go out on trail rides, finished beautifully her first 40km. endurance competition, is a good schooling horse and is due to foal in spring 2012.
