Yes you can ride pretty! You have a great, willing trail partner in this guy! "Loki" is fun, beautifully Gaited, and loyal! He's pretty laid back, doesn't mind riding out on his own, nor does he mind hanging back... will move Out with the best of them or he'll hang back with your quarter horse friends… He's great with kids, he's not a car he will need direction… But there's not a mean bone in his body. He's truly a gem! Message me for videos... I'm technically challenged, but can text or email them to you😂
