This is Derek, named after Ben Stiller's character from the movie Zoolander for his outstanding flashy looks. He's a pretty boy with all of the moves, very athletic, and willing to show it. He is green broke but has done very well. He loads and unloads, stands tied, picks his feet, lunges well, amazing ground work, side passes on ground, respectful of space and has a month in the saddle. He was a challenge early on but learned quickly. He will need to be finished by someone who has the skills to do it. I would not say he is a beginner's horse.
