I have used Dash for trail and pleasure riding and he goes willingly through water and mud, loads and ties great, and is good for farrier. He rides out alone and with other horses. I have also dabbled in obstacles thinking of trying trail challenges and believe he would do well in that discipline. I took him to a Ranch Horse clinic and he is fine with cows and I think he would make a great Ranch Show horse with some fine tuning for showing. Previous owner also used him for roping and sorting cows and trail riding. Dash is a great partner to have so take a look.
