“These assessments are based on how these horses respond in their current environment and any change in their current environment, riders, diet, etc could have an effect on the horses' immediate performance. Horses need time to adjust when moved to new surroundings. We highly recommend you visit, spend time with the equines and evaluate the equine before making a decision"

Explain manners: He is gentle to handle once you’ve got a hold of him, but he can be tricky to catch. If he thinks he’s going to have to work he won’t stick around. Good about leading, but he’s still young so he has the occasional outburst of energy. He will stand tied quietly all day long. Does NOT like his legs/feet messed with (this is the only time he’s ever kicked out). Good about being brushed / messed with everywhere else.

Stands while being mounted	Z	Trots	Z
Easily moves out	Z	Lopes/Canters	Z
Does well on trails	Z	Runs	Z
Does well in arenas	Z	Backs up	Z
Explain overall training: Cinch isn’t a bad little horse, he’s just really nervous about having his feet/legs messed with. He’s come a long way from the start…I can rub almost down to his hooves now and he doesn’t kick out. He’s not scared of anything else, so I think he would make a great little riding pony once he got past the foot issue. I wouldn’t recommend him for a beginner unless they plan on sending him for training.
