Been there done that mellow gelding. He is very calm, gentle and loveable but just too big for me. He was advertised as 14.3 when I purchased him-he is not! He is over 15 hands!! He is a dream to load, bath, groom, fly spray, clip, vet & farrier. He goes out by himself, but of course prefers to ride with friends. He does a stepping pace, foxtrot and if pushed for speed will hard pace-we are working on not encouraging that. He has learned many voice commands and will stop, walk, stand, backup, move over, head down, side to come over to a mounting obstacle. He is quick to learn and has come a long way in the short time I have had him.
