RIDING-
We trail ride locally only
We have not trailered him anywhere, or stayed overnight anywhere
He was trailered to us, they said he was fine.
We use the buddy system when we trail ride
He has not gone out on his own
He doesn’t yield to leg pressure, unless he is in the mood, then he is fantastic about it
More whoa than go
We have not cantered him
He will canter correct lead on the lounge line both ways.
Snaffle bit or halter and lead rope
Yes, he backs up when asked
Yes, he stops when asked
Trot when asked is iffy - depends on mood, day, person, star alignment
Excellent ground manners
Ties
PARTICULARS -
Selling because he belongs to my daughter, and she went to College out of state
We have owned him 4 years
No kick, no bite, no crib,
Middle of totem pole in the herd.
Not a kid's horse – sometimes crow hops when asked to trot
Not spooky, but sometimes likes to play pretend if he is in that kind of mood.
Ridden on country roads and fields.
** Funny Quirk - He will not leave the stall or walk through the gate unless you put a lead rope around his neck and "lead" him out. Instead, he stands there all puppy eyed waiting for permission. He came to us like this, someone taught him to NEVER rush the gate, and it seriously stuck!
