He is slow and steady on rough terrain and will pick his way along. He has also been hauled to shows and trail rides. he works great in the arena. He neck reins and side passes. His side pass to the left is stronger than to the right. he has a soft jog and a smooth lope. he will ride alone to work or pleasure ride. He has a laid back, friendly personality. He is accustomed to country traffic and busy roads. He is very athletic and talented. He could excel in any western discipline or competition. He is sound and healthy. He easily loads and hauls. He has great ground manners, standing tied, bathing, trimming etc. He gets along fine with other horses under saddle and in the pasture. He is best suited for an experienced rider, and he appreciates a strong leader. He performs best when kept in regular work / riding, he tends to get lazy if not. In the past if he has a long break over winter he has been known to crow hop the first ride when he goes back to work, usually when asked to canter. In regular work he has not done this. He is up to date on teeth, coggins, health paper and hooves. We keep shoes on the front when he is in heavy work ( lots of rocky trails ). A PPE ( vet check) is available.
