Hot Rod was born outside and had spent his life in rugged country. He had been used extensively in the Frank Church River of No Return Wilderness as well as used in mountains and rugged country chasing and moving cows. He is very sure footed at whatever speed you ask him. He is not horse bound and rides away quietly. He is a kind gentle horse that always comes to you out in the pasture/ corral. He is good to shoe and load in trailer. He hobbies, high lines and stakes out by halter out front foot. He also has been packed on from hard boxes to canvas tents. I raised him and am using him now but am selling him for my friend that has purchased another horse.
