That's a great idea!! He'd be perfect for it- he never goes to the bathroom outside his stall xD Not sure why - I think he's modest. I've started teaching him some simple tricks like targeting and verbal commands to move around.
My concern is that he has a 'criminal record' he attacked a few people in the past, they deserved it, but none-the-less he's labelled a 'liability'. So if he ever hurt anyone he doesn't fall under the label of 'horses are unpredictable and can be dangerous so you can't sue me' sort of thing, because he's proven he is dangerous. So I don't know if I could do that - but I'd love to!!
Comparing his confirmation to that of a bred jumper, I don't see any reason why he wouldn't excel in that discipline. He has very muscular back legs. Besides that I LOVE chestnuts with flaxen manes and he's a beauty!
Wow thank you so much He's got a personality to match. I think I'm going to spend today weeding :P I have some jumps made for him but are quite short, but good to get him started with
