Murphy is a flashy horse looking for the right fit. He has great ground manners. I bought him for my children to ride, he is not a beginner's horse as advertised when I bought him. You can view the ad and video I purchased him from here: https://www.dreamhorse.com/show_horse.php?horse_id=2265528 He is very sweet but can be nervous and forward-moving. He would make a great project horse that would probably do great at local shows or trail riding. He needs a confident and quiet rider. My kids can work with him on the ground and love on him all day but need something been there done that to ride. He is sound and up to date on shots and farrier.
