This horse has always wanted to be ridden, he has never bucked, even when first started. He has a light mouth and responses to leg pressure. He is a very good boy, gets along well with other horses and livestock. He stands well for farriers and grooming, he likes attention! He stands well for mounting and dismounting. He is even okay with dismounting by sliding down his rump! I have even crawled under him and through his legs. He loads well and stands tied with no problems. He is very muscular and has a beautiful shiny coat in summer and a thick coat in the winter. He has a thick mane and lovely long tail. He loves peppermint candies and apple horse treats.
