Hes a great boy. He has lots of presence and very aware of me and what i want. Im just glad its worked out well because i have known him a long time and seen him in some horrible states (both skeletal and obese..good lease homes are hard to find! Im the only person the owner has actually offered to sell him to)
When i got him home from the last lease home at the request of his owner, he was lame. I thought oh shit ive just taken a horse thats going to have issues and thats not really what i was looking for - but then i looked at his hooves which were trimmed, but by a blind person. They were very very out of balance and a quick trim fixed them right up and he then started moving more free and unlame. Hasn't had a lame step since and is now a nice weight. I cant wait to clip him!!!!
His travelling is poor, he sweats up horrifically and is very anxious (even with company) so thats something to work on and i will only take him to a local show this year but its a work in progress and as he is so sensible in harness even when stressed he will be a great teacher for younger horses to break to harness if i can tandem/pair.
