Blue has racked up many great trail miles this past year. The longer the trail, the better. He does not balk at obstacles, and he rarely spooks. He spooks in place when he does.
He is lazy in the arena and will test you when he doesn’t want to do something so he is NOT FOR CHILDREN OR BEGINNERS.
He likes to lead on the trail unless there is an alpha mare or bad*** gelding leading. If trotting or cantering on the trail, and he gets passed up he will buck a couple of times. I just pull him up and continue on. I am 60 but an experienced rider so I’ve never come off him.
