I have beautiful appaloosa gilding grade six years old he is big boned heavy muscled and an easy keeper. This guy is a love. And as boring as they come going down the trail no fancy turns no big stops, a baby soft trot, walks through water, steps over logs. He honestly just wants to follow and if he feels froggy he’ll lead for a short while, and start walking slower and slower until another horse passes him and happy anywhere in the line of my horses trots, and slow lop but the other horse needs to be loping in front of him. If you ride him constantly he will need shoes. But he is always the same boy every day or every other month. Big beautiful and Quiet!
