Can go in any direction. Most recently has been doing lessons and horse showing in dressage, combined training, and hunt seat. Anyone can ride. Quiet - no spook. Easy to handle and work around. Stands on crossties for grooming, bathing, clipping, vet and farrier. Easy to load and good to trailer. Was a trail horse before we got her so very little wear and tear on her. Willing in the bridle and frames up nicely. Will go on the bit in a training level frame. Has jumped 3' with us but mostly 2-2'3" in lessons. Would make an excellent show or hunt horse or just all around pleasure horse.
