Cowboy is the greatest mini I have ever come across. He loves kids!!!! He loves everyone else but will be perfect for a kid. Has been there done that. I put all of my beginners with him. Nice movement, does showmanship, in-hand trail and halter. He comes with an open entry cart, harness, blankets, show halter and what ever else I throw in. I am getting out of minis so it all goes. He loads hauls stand tied and is an angel to trim and doctor. He is worth his weight in gold. Very safe and smart gelding. Don't let his age scare you he has a lot of years left. He was used to help a young man with muscle development problems and he is the most patient caring guy. Don't miss out on him.
