Has been ridden for 4 months 5 or 6 days a week excellent with shoer, loads good and tie's with no pull back. Good on the trail, walks, trots and lopes under saddle. He is still in a snaffle bit, very calm, would make a great trail or ranch horse. If your looking for a good young horse, do not pass this one up, these kind don't come along every day.
