Kernal has been with us since he was 2. He has been shown in many disciplines over the years by 3 different family members ranging from Showmanship, Western Horsemanship, Trail classes, English on flat and low jumping, Ranch, Gymkhana, Cowboy Mounted Shooting, Competitive Trail rides. He has been used with extensive trail riding and camping, including on long haul trips out West. Ridden half way down the Grand Canyon and many states we have traveled. He is the choice for a fun steady trail mount. Goes where you ask, have not found the end of his stamina. Used for YEDA competitions. Quiet, unless you ask for the gymkhana to come out. Level minded, best suited for someone who has rode, or with a group that knows how to ride. He can pack a green person but also is willing to go where you point him and as fast as you would ask, so best not to ask unless you know how to ride. He is capable of walking and going slow if that is the desire, however if your energy is high or you can not relax you are apt to have a more forward ride. Oldest son is getting married this fall and last of the 5 kids have just graduated 4H and school. Sadly we have too many horses to keep them all. If kids would be riding he would not be leaving. Just competed this year in Western and Classical Dressage both in open, and state level qualifier and placings, he is very versatile. Sound, can go barefoot, great with the farrier, ground manners, easy keeper, loads, washes, respects fence, not at the bottom of the herd but not top dog, All things expected for a seasoned horse, no bad habits. PPE welcome We just competed in a 22 mile competitive trail ride on Sept 12, 2026. Received 4th in horsemanship, 1st in conditioning, and 2nd overall. Then 8 days later hauled him to an indoor and took over 40 minutes of video for you to view. There is bridling, mounting, 2 handed western, 1 handed western both in a broken snaffle bit, there is a short video of flying leads that we do not practice, he is natural and the first time she has done this on him. Bareback riding, and d-ring dressage type. There was no warm up, what you see is what happened. I had difficulties downloading into youtube, thus there are 2 parts. https://youtu.be/PUJ_3y_lEjU is the first part - please copy and paste. https://youtu.be/e5oxEZ_zlDA is for part 2. Thank you
