Update!! Andy competed in the Double L Ultimate Cowboy Trail Challenge, and ended up winning the amateur 18-50, got res champ over all horse (mule and donk categories too), and Reserve OVER ALL (30 riders)!!! What an absolute doll he was!! VIDEO OF BOTH RUNS AVAILABLE!!!
I bought Andy as a reining prospect, as that is what I mostly do now (haha or try to). He does actually have a pretty big stop, and is the only one I've owned that slides for fun when turned out. I think he gets really bored doing "arena work", so I've gotten to where I try not to torture him with it if I dont have too. He LOVES being out in the brush, or doing EXCA type obstacles... honestly, anything other than going around in circles would better suite him. Also been started with a cap gun. Both on ground and in the saddle and was great!!
