Bob is a great horse. He's stocky built, barefoot. Ties, trailers , baths, stands for farrier. I think he'd gait but I don't know how to collect him for it. Stops , backs but still green on neck reining. Easy to handle . Only ridden him on BLM on trail ridding. Bushwhacking is no issue. Has had deer hides on his back , sacks, tarps. Never kicked or rear up. Easy keeper ! Have sat next to him while he was laying down. He has lots of potential in him . Prefers to lead on trail but will ride behind but gets very bored. I state intermediate rider due to his lack of neck reining. Once conditioned , I think he'd be good for competing trail riding.
