Charger is very friendly and smart. He leads, loads, lunges, backs, he's good with the farrier, does not shy away from vaccinations, has been around dirt bikes, machinery, dogs, other horses, no scars, just had his hooves trimmed, and he is easy to catch. He does like children, but I have not ridden him much, so he is not for a beginner. For more info. e-mail or call me (406) 241-9027. Thanks! Wanda
