We have owned him for 11 years and he has consistently been a joy because of his good natured and willing personality. He is almost unflappable on trail rides. He has given lessons to my nieces when they were only 5 years old. He clips, baths, loads and unloads like a champ. We have used him for trail riding predominately. however he was also a Drill team horse and took top place in Oakland county with is team. They did exhibition shows at MSU and the state fair. The previous owners used him as a show horse in breed shows. He likes an audience and really struts his stuff with applause.
