They don't make them any smoother than this gelding. Gaits like a dream and has a rocking horse canter. Pros: Jet is easy to load, stands for farrier, vet, walks out on the trail alone or with a group and will ride in any position, but in the beginning might prefer to be in the back. Once on the trail you can put him anywhere. He's just the right size if you need to dismount and get back up too! I've had him for a year and a half, but am needing to go in a different direction for beginner riders. I wish I could keep him but I only have room for two. I haven't tried him as an endurance horse, but I think he would make a good one and his stunning looks would stand out in the show ring. I absolutely adore this guy. Cons: He will look at things on the trail occasionally but with encouragement he will move on out. UTD on Coggins and all vaccines.
