Twiggy is 100% sound. He has lots of years left as Arabians tend to live a very long life. He is in desperate need of getting his teeth floated and is priced to accommodate that. He is skinny from his teeth needing it. Twiggy is safe for most anyone. He is excellent on the trail. Twiggy will walk down the trail but if you ask him to get up and go he sure will do that. He has also been used to gather cows. Don’t let his age scare you. He has no idea he is not young. Very fun to ride
