We took him to horse shows all summer. He is familiar with alleys and arenas. As we were introducing him to the events he did particularly well in flags and keyhole. My 12 yr old daughter mostly used him as her play horse between events. Since he is not spooky, small enough to hop off and on, and will let 2 or 3 kids ride on him, he was perfect as her play horse. He has a good foundation and can be finished as a speed horse or rail horse. He neck reins and picks up correct leads. He will work with or without spurs. He has been on long trail rides--and is a confident, calm, surefooted mount. He gets along with other horses and does all of the following exceptionally well: bathes, loads, ties, clips (even his ears!), stands for farrier, takes needles. He is up to date on vaccs and has current negative coggins. He loves people, we use him in equine therapy and give lessons on him. So much experience for such a young horse.
