She sometimes comes and watches us practice cutting cattle, and never has a bad word to say, only constant encouragement for the good things she sees. I think you can count on her to stick to what she knows, while remaining open to stuff she might not know (but will learn in a big hurry if it applies). Goodnight Training Stables also sponsors the Versatility Ranch Horse competition I ride in every fall, for which I am more than grateful.

She's a good girl: go for it.
