All around horse has been ranched on, heeled steers, ran barrels and poles. Has miles of experience and excels as a trail horse. Toured Utah mule trails on him (See video) including Bryce canyon, Willis slot canyon, Thunder mountain trail and many others. Very laid back personalty but is a strong lead horse. He is a capable horse that knows his job well so he is not for a complete beginner. However, youth with experience or a confident husband will get along with him just fine. I have put very small children on him in a round pen and my 12 year old son that doesn't ride much gets along with him well everywhere.
