He is a 2007 model. Standing at 52in. Black, will fade in the summer sun. We have had him for 7 years. We have used him on countless trail rides. Fun shows. Cattle drives. Overnight camping. Has been at the county fairs for 4-H shows. Ride double or single. He has a job and he does his job amazingly. We have 2 ponies one for the girls to ride anywhere and one for them to love on. He is not mean at all. He just doesn’t want to sit and be brushed and hugged on. He did not like to pull a cart so if that is what you are looking for, he is not a cart pony. I would put a kid who knows how to ride on him or knows something about riding. I looked and have bought many pony's trying to find one like him. He is good looking and takes care of his riders. My daughters are outgrowing him and he is too good of pony to put out to pasture. He loves going on adventures!
