Gus is such a sweet boy. Good to catch. Stands to be tied and saddled. Loads and backs off great. He is barefoot and stands for the farrier. Riding wise he isnt anything fancy, but he is gentle and can be picked up and rode at anytime. If needed for lessons he would be a great walk trot pony. He will lope with encouragement. Great on trails and will go anywhere. Hooks up to a wagon quietly. He will drive single and double. The only flaw to him is he is partially blind in his right eye, but he still rides and works just fine.
