I have owned Fred for the last 6 years. Since then, he has been halter broken and taken to a boyscout camp and church nativity scenes. I now have three horses and don't have the time to give him the attention he needs. He has been lead by 10-year-olds and sat on by children. He does not mind being sat on but has not been started under saddle. We sedate him to have his hooves trimmed. We have found that most farriers do not charge extra for sedation. He has coon jumped 3' and would make a nice stud prospect because of his size. He has not been lame in years and is a very easy keeper. E-mail me at Sarahvstheclown@aol.com for pictures.
