His registered name is SKB Sinatra Image, so we call him Frank. Great trail horse, crosses water, up and down hills, clips, stands for the farrier, loads and hauls, easy keeper (except he eats A LOT because of his size), middle of the herd, stands tied all day. He is GREEN BROKE so he is NOT a kids horse at this moment. He is not fast and will never be a performance horse. When he first got here he was afraid of everything and it took him a while to learn how to be a horse. He needs a confident rider for the next 6 months. He is very sweet and quite social. He rides out fine by himself, but if he was kept in a pen all alone, he would go a little nutty. He needs a buddy. I put his temperament at 4/10, but if he was kept alone, he would be a 9/10. After a year with a skilled wrangler he would do well at a guest ranch. He loves repetition. Put him in between two seasoned horses and he would have no problem carrying a large person. He is honest and will not try to outsmart you but it only 3 years old. He is not gritty or tough and is a big baby. Those are Gold's Gym muscles and a Gold's gym mind. I can't say he is super bright :( His rear right hoof grows at an odd angle, he cut his tongue when he stepped on his reins and his teeth are a mess, but he is not lame and eats just fine. His tail will grow out. It looks like a pom-pom right now. Please see my other horses on Dreamhorse - Westie and RJ email me for a 20 min long video of Frank.
