Louie is a kind and easy horse to be around, handle and ride. I am only selling Louie due to switching to gaited. I am a senior rider with a bad back and I can no longer handle caring for more than one horse realistically. Louie has a nice trot and a very slow and smooth lope. I purchased him last summer because I was looking for something very quiet that I could gain my confidence back on. I road and trail rode Louie and he is a sane, quiet and calm horse to ride and work around. I gained my confidence back in no time. Louie is a healthy horse. No bad habits. Stands quiet for everything. Would make a nice horse for a family to enjoy, a child or a senior like myself.
