11 YR Roping, Barrels, Trail, Gymkana?, Sweet, Trusting

11 YEAR OLD 14.2 1/2 HAND PALOMINO GELDING (JUST TURNED 11) WHOS BEEN ROPED OFF OF HE'S WORKED CATTLE ON A RANCH DRUG THEM TO BE BRANDED AND DOCTORED, I'M NOT SURE IF HE'S DONE ARENA ROPING. WE ACQUIRED REX ABOUT 8 MONTHS AGO AND HE WAS VERY UNDERWEIGHT AND HADN'T BEEN TREATED VERY NICE, THE IMPRESSION HE GAVE US IS THAT SOMEONE HAD SPANKED HIM A LOT. WHEN HE FIRST CAME HERE YOU COULDN'T EVEN WALK UP TO HIM TO CATCH HIM. IF YOU WANTED TO CATCH HIM YOU HAD TO ROPE HIM. HE HAS A VERY SWEET NATURE AND WANTS TO PLEASE. BECAUSE OF THE WAY HE WAS TREATED HE'S A LITTLE UNSURE AT TIMES. I CAN NOW WALK INTO HIS PEN AND HALTER HIM. IF HE'S TURNED OUT IN THE ARENA I CAN WALK UP AND HALTER HIM. HE DOESN'T TRY TO HURT YOU OR KICK AT YOU HE JUST ACTS A LITTLE SCARED. HE'S GETTING BETTER EVERY DAY HE DOESN'T BUCK OR BITE BUT HE'S A LITTLE SENSITIVE WITH HIS BACK LEGS AND HE'S ALSO GETTING BETTER THERE. YOU CAN SADDLE AND BRIDLE HIM BUT HE'S A LITTLE NERVOUS. HE NECK REINS WITH EASE AND BACKS UP. I WORKED WITH HIM ABOUT 15 MINUTES WITH THE TARP AND THEN MY SON MOUNTED HIM AND HE WALKED AND STOOD ON THE TARP AND CANTERED WITH THE TARP WITHOUT ANY HESITATION. HE DOESN'T FIGHT HE'S VERY EASY TO WORK WITH VERY SWEET GENTLE NATURE HE JUST NEEDS TO KNOW YOU'RE NOT GOING TO HURT HIM. THE YOUNG GIRL RIDING HIM IN THE VIDEO IS OUR 11 YEAR GRANDDAUGHTER (SHE'S A BEGINNER RIDER) IF YOU'RE A KIND, PATIENT AND LOVING PERSON TOWARDS HORSES YOU COULD HAVE A FRIEND FOR LIFE Watch Youtube video.
