Fred is sure to be an outstanding endurance horse. Sired by Ibn Okba (Arabian) who himself has a spectacular career on the racetrack and has sired both track and endurance off spring. Dam was an Appaloosa that was ApHC Distance national champion, had a nearly decade long endurance career with well over 1,000 AERC miles, her foals have proven to be athletic and trainable. Fred has a good handle on him. In the arena soft with his cues, steady at the walk/jog/lope, leg yield side pass, turns on the haunches and forehand. Likes to do new things and thoroughly enjoys his time out with you. Trail experience both on bridle path and technical narrow trails, leads confidently, goes mid pack and will pick up the rear, crosses bridges, ground covering marching like walk yet waits patiently for his slower trail buddies to catch up. Could also make a nice sport horse prospect for someone looking to go that direction also. Cool horse and excited to see all the fun things he will get to do with his new owner.
