Jar is a gental loveing horse wrapped in a tough guy suite. He figures if he seems upset every one will not ask him to work. But with a bit in his mouth he is a quiet responsive horse. His brakes are amazing. As a matter of fact when experianced riders ride him I have to warn them because too much pressure and over the top they will go. When going english he will tuck his head in very tight and still move forward. If this is your intention with him. He must be worked up gently to strenghen the musles. Do to my schedual he has not been worked much in the past year. No bit, No buck. Kicks only when continually pushed on the back side. He loves to be the fallower and hovers at lead horses rear, I have ponied him extensively with other horses to keep him active. A treasure to the right home and human.
