Vern is a very high class horse. He is practically bomb proof. Has been trained to water, cross ties, ground tying, clippers, vaccuming, and even more. He is a very good keeper, he's good in the cold but he does have a few blankets, but he goes through Maine winters. He is an all around horse, you can pretty much do anything with him. He is mainely a dressage and jumping horse, but he's good in other things too, as listed in DISCIPLINES.
