Pepper is a great ride for the amateur rider, but he has a lot more to offer. At 14 years old he is really coming into himself. He has been mostly ridden on trails (on which he is rock solid), but has been taken to lessons and clinics. We work on arena exercises in both english and western. My daughter did show him twice. Owning horses for over 40 years, and mostly Arabians, Pepper is the smoothest riding horse I have been on and is very agile. He is a good show prospect horse in skilled hands. I believe he would be well suited for English or Western dressage, as he is very light in hand and attentive to the rider -though would be good at western, english, patterns and trail, too. Getting out of horses is reason for sale. All his tack for sale also. Recommend experienced confident rider 14+. Currently being lightly ridden.
