Terrific trail horse, leads, follows, or middle of the pack, carefully picks his way over the rocks, ground covering smooth trot, or nice walk with the group. All the gaits, side passes, and extras. Very social with people, dogs and other horses. Perfect ground manners, great with the farrier. Loads easily, hauls nicely, ties at the trailer, stands at the mounting block. Strong enough to carry the heavy weight rider. Not a beginner/novice horse. He knows how to sneak in that snack on the trail, or take the initiative if the rider is unaware. He learned it all in the ring, so can do that pleasure class, or jump up to dressage. Now takes lessons learned out on the trail. Or maybe you want to hang out and have a horse snuggle. Careful, he knows how many carrots are in your pocket. Passed a pre-purchase vet exam.
