Rio is an excellent trail horse, has lots of brio, and is willing to try what you ask. He has the best gait of any horse I've been on; he even has a very smooth lope. I am selling because my friends ride 15 mph and PPs aren't made to go so fast!
On trail rides, he will lead, stay in the middle, or hang back at the rear. He will leave the pack if I ask him to. When something spooks him, he spooks in place and calms quickly. He will willingly jump a (small) log if we are going fast on a trail. He walks back to the barn.
He will "join up." He bonds with his owner and responds best to "natural horsemanship."
He has never bucked me, reared with me on him, kicked, or bitten. He trailers well, stands for the farrier, and is patient with grooming. He is not an alpha horse and needs a companion. Easy keeper.
He is a fast learner and leads well. He walks with me, stops, backs, and doesn't crowd. He comes to me in the pasture.
He is not a beginner's horse. He has lots of energy and wants to go. He has been in the show ring and won blue ribbons.
