Blondie has been ridden by all levels of riders. Amazing in parades with carnivals and noises all around he remains calm and levelheaded. Perfect Queen horse. Have carried sponsor flags at rodeos with him and he waits quietly to enter and exit. Shown successfully in performance with his smooth gates and wonderful transitions. Fancy trained with a light hand. Played around with gymkhana and he lopes nicely, but not a speed demon. Clips, bathes and loads like a dream. Tons of trails! Rides in the front or back, crosses bridges, water and rough terrain all with no nonsense. Used for modeling without a bridle and ground ties. Comes running when called. Easy to catch and farrier. Cannot say enough good about him. Selling only because I am going sailing with hubby next year and he will just sit unused. Approved home a must!
