8 yr old half quarter horse/ half paint gelding. He is a pretty boy and loves attention. He is black in the spring and fades to a dark brown in the summer. He has the coolest spotted legs ever. He has had lots of time under the saddle and has gone horse camping/trail riding to many places. Has crossed streams and bridges, we have high tied him and he does fine with that. He is pretty laid back and gentle and has been the one I put my inexperienced extra riders on. He is always fine at a walk trot but will occasionally test with a little crow hop at a lope. Even inexperienced riders have done fine with it cuz it is small. If you don't panic and just lope him again he won't do it again. His preference is to walk or trot but is willing to lope if you ask him too. He is good for the farrier .
