Copper is a super fun, been there done that type of gelding. He was purchased from back East where he was said to be used for hunting and has exposure to gunfire etc. Since then he has been extensively trail ridden by riders of all ages, from kids to older riders. He is a forward horse and wants to go, but he is controllable. He is not a spooky horse, and has been ridden a lot both in groups and alone successfully. He has completed two limited distance endurance rides, the most recent he received High Vet Score. He is fit and ready for a 50 now. He gaits very well. Recovers well. Sure footed and brave. Not for a beginner but somebody who has some feel will really enjoy this horse!
