If I told you that my 12 year old daughter?

Got my 5 year old QH from being a high strung wanting to run and crow hop guy to an easy going smooth riding, not have to worry about what he might do guy, would that tell you anything about my kid's ability? My daughter is an absolute miracle when it comes to horses. My QH was always high strung, ready to go kind of horse in the past. She started working with him this summer, on her own. She can handle just about anything a horse can do to her. Only been thrown once of all the times horses have bucked with her. She can stay on, don't know how she does it, but she does. I have no clue how, but the minute she catches him, which he walks right up to her even if he is in the back of the pasture, she can do anything with him. No one has ever been able to ride him without him at least slinging his head a little. He needed a little work since he had been out to pasture after I fell off and got a little nervous about him, then I had another accident (one of my guys reared and come down on me, I was holding him, not on him. He hit me in the back of the head). She took it upon herself to saddle him and go for a ride one day. The next day, we were in the arena working on the barrel pattern. She had never even ran him before we went to the arena. She loped him around the arena a few times and made him turn circles and all, the way we did all the other horses before we ran barrels on them. She never ran him around the barrels, just walked. The first time, he was a little nervous. He had done barrels a couple times with a young girl that "borrowed" him from my family before. He ran a 17 and an 18. Anyhow, my daughter got him to calm way down around the barrels, not problem. Even when my old paint acted up, the young one did perfect. She stays on her toes when riding at all times, no matter how "bombproof" the horse is. Jo did wonders for her. Now I have been offered a lot for him, and she has found a horse she really wants, and we got him. The guy told me that since my daughter could make him cut and spin like that, he could really make a good cutting horse out of him. Sad to think of him leaving, but it just astonishes me that my kid is so talented. She is so fearless, even the day she got thrown, she got back on, after we found out she was ok. The kid needs to be a trainer, that's all I can say! She will and can ride just about anything! I just won't let her on the young paint, since he reared with me once. Cant risk her little body under him.
