He has that kind, willing disposition that makes him easy to be around, both on the ground and under saddle.

Under saddle, Sandy is extremely smooth and comfortable, offering a nice walk, trot, extended trot, and a soft, collected lope that feels like you are sitting on silk.

He knows his leads, has a nice lead change, and has been ridden in both indoor and outdoor arenas. Whether you ride western, English, or bareback, he remains consistent, soft, and willing.
