There are no bad days playing with Pickles! He has does everything you could think of with the kids! He will gently pack the most timid riders and soldier through babysitting your wildest little ones! Pickles is perfect for the critical years of about 2 to 8-10 years old when really being comfortable and falling in love with horses is the most important part. He is perfect to turn a rider loose for the very first time and will carry them all the way until they're ready for a big horse!! Pickles has been being used this last year in a top notch lesson program being ridden both English and western, going over small jumps, through horsemanship and playday patterns, and ridden on challenging trails by even the most beginner of riders. Pickles is one the kids can catch themselves and do every bit of it! He has solid ground manners, leads, loads, hauls, bathes, grooms, picks feet, saddles, bridles, stands for mount and dismount, and stands for the vet and for the farrier!
