“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: Milly has good ground manners but if she doesn’t want to do something, you cannot make her do it because of her size. Luckily, she is agreeable most of the times she is asked to do anything. She can give a farrier a hard time when she doesn’t feel like standing still but it is not out of meanness. She doesn’t like to stand that still for any length of time. This is not unusual for draft horses.
