In just a few short
months, River went from
being started with a
halter to working on
ground manners and
grooming. His ground
manners are now
excellent. Recently he
has had a saddle on his
back with a rider
sitting on him. He
hasn’t taken any steps
with a rider, but he
shows no reaction to

the potential to be an

Other comments:
River is a small horse
who has started
training. He would be
good for someone who
wants to start from
scratch or is looking
for a project. He is
young and healthy and
smart but would need a
child or small adult
rider.
