When he was 2, was started carefully and correctly followed by only trail riding til his immature bones firmed up. Currently (4 yo) working both western and English (dressage and jumping). Brave on trails: Up/down banks, ditches, crosses all water. Also started over fences and is not afraid of anything. A little bit of a leg ride right now but getting better. Schooling leg yields, pivots, TOH, etc. Reining quality "whoa" when asked. No vices. Current everything including dentist.
