Magic has been exclusively trail ridden for the past 5 years and goes up, down, over and through anything. He is a joy to ride, however, he is not for the beginning rider as he has a ton of energy and does not like to stand still for long. He has a wonderful gait, awesome lope, but will run a race if you want him to. He stands for saddling and mounting, fly spray and picking of his feet. Goes in and out of the horse trailer with no problems. Magic is UTD on all shots, however, no Coggins because we do not ride out of Minnesota. No shoes needed as he has good hard black feet. He is an extrememly easy keeper, so don't over feed him. The only reason he is for sale is because I recently had back surgery (I'm 61) and can no longer ride him. For more information and addition photos call me at 507-228-8118 and I will respond asap. PS: Magic really is a hershey chocolate color, but fades in the summer and changes to a lighter shade. He is registered as a chocolate.
