Easy to catch out on pasture, no rushing gates, no dancing on the lead, walk at or slightly behind my shoulder, tie and stand quietly and patiently, load and unload & ride in trailer, bathe without drama, clip without fuss, stand for grooming, farrier, vet, tie to side of trailer and stand, stand for tacking & untacking, mounting & dismounting (this is a pet peeve for me, I'll sell a horse that won't be still for mounting and dismounting). If I want to stop and chat with a friend, the horse will stand quietly and either graze or stand patiently until I'm done.
