Evaluation and Training
Chico is an adorable guy who is a bit shy with new people. but he comes around quickly when shown kindness. He is a sweet pony and the perfect size to ride. A regular saddle will fit him, you do not need a pony saddle. Chico is generally easy to catch in the pasture, but sometimes he does like to run from you. He will run around the pasture few times and then come back to you so you can put the halter on. He tries to comply with what you are asking him to do. Sometimes he is a little nervous, but once he accomplishes a task he will do it again without any trouble. He is a little jumpy around quick movements, but calms quickly as well. He stands still for the farrier, fly spray, as well as being tacked up. He loads into a trailer easy and travels well. He is an easy keeper and gets along with other horses, cows, and dogs. He has spent four months in the summer/fall of 2019 with a youth handler, and he's been doing great. He's longing, carrying a saddle, and working over obstacles in hand. His handler has been on him a few times and he has done very well. They have been riding in the round pen but are not sure how well broke to ride he is actually is yet. He’s going to make someone an adorable and sweet pony with a little more training!
