You can do anything with them, mine are 5 gaited, walk,trot, canter, tolt and flying pace, you can drive them they love to pull, jump them the pally could jump a 5 foot fence at a stand still, I've seen them do dressage, race that's what the do in Iceland with them, I just trail ride mine, they go any where, love the water. Rex can be roped off of but he doesn't have the cow sense like a QH. Also in Iceland they are used as meat, they have the riding stock and the meat stock. They are 2 1/2 times stronger than the average horse, like mini drafts, big bones and muscles, they have no natural predators so they aren't spooky, they're very brave, loyal, and just plain fun to have, they love people and have the best personalities.
