Happy has been used at our trail barn for 2 years, and before that he was used at another trail barn for years. He is 15h and very stocky. He has good thick legs and rides great. He likes to walk fast on the trails, that comes from being ridden with gaited horses before we got him. He is safe, and neck reins.He is not for a complete beginner since he can be a little hot if not ridden regularly(moves around and paws if asked to stand while other horses are leaving). Sound with no vices. Stands for farrier but currently barefoot.Loads and ties no problem.
