Tough is an excellent example of the Marsh Tacky breed with his conformation, movement, and tractable temperament. He has exceptional ground manners for a stallion and is very polite around mares. Tough is handled daily in a program that has sent several young horses to 5* event programs. He is beginning ground work, including conditioning to flags and tarps, and also has been introduced to work in the round pen. He also stands tied quietly outside with other horses nearby, and understands backing up, turning, and other basic commands with flags. He has started round pen work, including free longing and is being introduced to a bit, bridle, and bareback pad. Genetic testing (6-panel is in process) He is offered Private Treaty, with special consideration given to a breeding and show home who would be able to continue the rare breed legacy.
