“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 overall training: Colt 45 is ready to work. He is very cooperative, quick to learn. We are quite certain he has not had any training, but is a very willing student. It did not take him long to walk/trot on his first day. He came straight out of the pasture and ponied behind the truck and walked down a track 3000 ' to the arena. He has beautiful movement and will make a nice English riding pony. Watch the videos...
