History:

Training / abilities: Charles is what we call “backyard broke”.  He stands still for tacking up and mounting and goes forward with a slap on the neck with reins. He could use some formal training.  He doesn’t really have any steering, and has no clue what leg cues are. With some proper training he is going to be very special.  A beginner can ride him, though preferably one with a trainer.  He is good with farrier, vet, bathing and his foster is sure he would clip quietly.  Charles is just a great guy.  He is also gaited, very comfortable to ride.

Experience level required to work with this horse: Beginner.

Has this horse ever:  Bucked? No. Reared? No. Kicked? No. Bitten? No. Other?
