Trout is an 8 yr old welsh gelding. Rides english or western, has done indoor trail training, worked the flag and has worked buffalo. I jumped Trout in the past but have ceased to do jumping due to hip pain. The kids at the barn love hopping on and riding him. I do tons of basic dressage in the western saddle; leg yields, shoulder-in, haunches-in, lengthening and shortening strides. He will ride in a plain snaffle or a shortshank snaffle for western work. Started slow spins, rollbacks and easy stops. Stand around for 3 weeks, get on and ride.
