Runner is an 8 yr old gelding and is utd on coggins, worming and shots. This is one great lil guy and you can leave your child alone with him at any time for how ever long and he will never bite or kick or hurt your child in any kind of way, but he will give kisses. You can go over him, under him, lay on him frontwards & backwards. He was used as a lesson pony and was a lead line pony, but now he knows how to be ridden alone with bit and bridle. we even taught him how to back up. I go back and forth on selling him because he is just that amazing. Now he is not perfect and will try and pull you to grass spots because its his favorite and he moves around some when bathing him, but the trust you can have in this pony is beyond amazing. A little girl with quite a severe case of autism comes to play with Runner and the parents are amazed on how well she connects with this great lil shetland. The pics on this ad is of this lil girl playing with Runner. So I do think he would make an amazing therapy pony. You can ride him with a saddle, bareback with a halter, sit on him while he eats food or grass and the list goes on and on. He was for my step son who is not interested in him and hasn't came to see Runner in months. I want to find Runner a great home with his own kid that will give him the attention and love he needs. This pony will make your heart melt when you watch kids around him. My two yr old niece will pull his tail and try to poke him in the eye ball and he doesn't budge or get one bit upset, now of course he is not perfect as no horse is, but he is 100% trust worthy with your child and is very smart and just wants to please his human. He comes with all his tack including a 13 inch saddle, saddle pad, bridle set with his name painted on the bridle, two halters and two lead ropes. His price has went up since his training, but I promise this will be the best money spent. AND HIS PRICE IS FIRM BECAUSE IF I CAN'T GET WHAT HE IS WORTH, THEN i WILL JUST GLADLY KEEP HIM BECAUSE I DON'T HAVE TO SELL HIM, BUT HE DOES DESERVE HIS OWN KID. AND PLZ TEXT ME BC I STAY VERY BUSY AND WILL ONLY BE ABLE TO TEXT YOU ABOUT RUNNER UNTIL I GET HOME. THANKS
