JJ is a great driving pony. Completely traffic safe. I drive him on the rode all the time. He doesnt spook at anything. He will go anywhere you piont him. JJ will go over rail road tracks and bridges. He has been in many parades. A couple of times he was right behind the marching band and didnt mind at all. He does need a driver with a little experience as he will test his driver but once you let him know that your the boss he will do whatever the driver wants. He is not broke to ride. Also, I would not consider him a kids pony. He is great for the farrier and vet. He ties and loads. His only vice he doesnt like getting baths. Im leaving for college soon and need to cut down on animals before I leave. The price includes his easy entry cart and leather harness. A good home is a must.
