Ruger is a wonderful boy. He definitely has more whoa than go and would prefer to take his rider down the trail. He had all level of riders on him. Ruger has done play days with kids, ridden in parades, done OHSET and gone on long trail rides. The only thing that bothers him is a tarp but he doesn’t go spastic. He’s carried flags so not sure what his deal is with a tarp. Ruger loads, clips, bathes and stands for the farrier. He is not fancy broke but if you can sit and point him in the direction you want to go he will take you there.
