Dirham has been an endurance horse for many years. He has not been ridden fast although he is very capable of moving out. His main job has been babysitting the youngsters. He has completed most endurance rides ( I think he had 2 rider options and 1 lameness due to sterrping on cactus during a ride) He is super reliable. This horse would be perfect for a youngster. He is no nonsense, uncompicated horse. No rear, buck, kick. He has solid gates (huge trot) and super light in the bridle. beautiful bay with a natural head carriage. He is just standing around and he needs a job. He has not been used up. He has excellent metabolic, super clean legs, no filling or swelling or windpuffs. super willing and kind. This by deserves to be someone's No#1. He is low man on the totem pole so he needs to be protected if you have a bully. super easy to catch, load shoe, I cant think of one thing he does that might be a problem. Ties all night beautifully. Even though he is very calm he would work well for someone who wants to do endurance fast or slow. He is legged up no problem taking him out by yourself, no spook super easy. Good Home a Must!
