“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: When I tested Everette in the arena at Habitat he was willing and responsive. Since then we have been pasture riding. In the pasture he has bucked and tossed the rider. His new home is out to pasture with human contact and training a few days a month. Everette’s youth and new found freedom may have led to his wilder side coming out on pasture riding. He just needs more time in the saddle and attention to become the great horse we know he can be!
