Other comments: Huckleberry is very easy to handle. He is well broke but can be strong with a inexperienced rider. He does have a tendancy to start backing (looking for a box to go in) but as soon as you get him going, he is a very nice ride. After further evaluation, he does good riding for about an hour, then he gets really tired. He would be perfect for the occasional rider or weekend rides for kids. Light riding only.
