Shadow Well, it's not the weather that he wouldn't do well with. He gets scared easily by deer and other forest animals which are absolutely everywhere in the place that we're going. He's an absoluetly wonderful horse, and one thing you never have to worry about is riding him out alone, because I ride him out alone almost every day. However, he is very fast, and me being only 16, I'm afraid of falling off up in the mountains and getting hurt, and no one knowing where I am. I'm working with him a LOT on the trail right now, and he is extremely wll mannered. Honestly, I don't know if I could actually get rid of him, unless he was going to a VERY good home. He's my best friend. He's also a great jumper, although still green at it, and he's as smart as a whip! He catches on to new cues very quickly, and listens very well to the bit. He would do very well with someone who wants to show, or just do pleasure riding. The problem is, where I'm going, I won't have an indoor arena like I do now. Shadow would be limited to being a trail horse, and that's not exactly where he fits in. I would hate to limit him in that way, and I just want him to be happy. I've also been working with him bareback and bridless, and he shows very well in the gymkhanas I've had him in. He always comes home with blue ribbons. His gait needs work, but he could definetely be shown to gait if someone put some time into it. He trots because I wanted him to. I was training him as a hunter, and so I didn't develop his gait. Now I've started working with it, and he's coming along. Thanks for spreading the word, and I'll keep you posted on his progress. I have so much more to say, I couldn't say enough good things about him, I just don't want him to end up in the wrong crowd. He's an amazing animal, and he could go into any discipline his rider wants. I've jumped him bareback and bridless as well, and he absolutely loves to run. The funny thing is, in the ring at the walk, he likes to plod along. When you ask him for speed, he has it though. He's turning 5 in April.... and his price is negotiable to the right home, but I can't go VERY low with it.
