Howdy! My name is Onesto (which as you can likely guess means Honest and I am told it's VERY fitting). I was born in 2019 (before all that crazy pandemic stuff) and am kind of a shorter guy in height at 15.2h but I make up for it with my elegant movement and fun personality. Think of Leonard on Big Bang Theory, he may be shorter but he was a pretty fantastic guy to Penny wasn't he? Also, I am easier to get on as I am closer to the ground! And let's face it I am NOT going to be going and winning grand prix jumping and really, are you? I am half hackney and half lusitano. My mom drove a buggy and my dad fought bulls. I have my mom's beautiful, ground covering movement but my daddy's agility and ability to collect. This mix has made an athletic guy for dressage. With the right trainer I DO have the movement and ability to go quite far but I am also cool with sticking to the lower levels. I could also do working equitation. I have jumped small jumps and I am a very willing guy with what I am told is a surprisingly cute jump. Like, could probably place in low level hunters over fences, I'd need some work on my canter though for a hack class. I like to hold my head higher than the typical hunters do and I like to a fancy pants with my movement. I've never tried it but I could potentially do some driving sports too. I'm the perfect size for it! Being only 4 and have been allowed to grow before being put into work, the world is my oyster and I am down for just about everything. I even invite you to send a vet out, they'll say the same thing! I have clean legs, no prior injuries, no vices and have I mentioned how sweet I am? I can walk, trot, canter and am working on laterals and canter to walk transitions. I am happy to go out on the trails alone or with others. As long as you have a general idea of how to ride and have confidence to help me if I am unsure of something we will get along peachy! Sometimes I'll look at something but the most I do is snort and stop. I'd never want to intentionally off load you, we're supposed to be buddies and as goofy as I am on the ground, I try to take care of you when I'm taking you places or doing stuff. I'm a pretty playful guy and I love to do stuff with you. If I see you coming I'll come meet you at the gate! One time in the winter I found a stick stuck in the snow. I dug and dug and dug like a dog to get that stick out of the snow. When I was successful I wanted someone to play fetch with me but of course, no one would so i decided to see how far I could throw it myself then I'd catch it and wave it around in victory. I kept this stick for a long time and would try to poke the other horses. Prata got mad one day though and took it, hiding it on me cuz he's a fun ruiner. I am a barn favorite and that's not just me saying that, ask anyone at my farm, they'll tell you. Infact, the lovely peop
