So my cousin bought this gorgous grey. We paid a whole 350 dollars for him.

First when we got there, he was already saddle. They shoved a bit in his mouth, he freaked. I was like oh god what did I drive all this way to see.

They took 10 minutes to get on him, they would raise there leg to get in the saddle and he would take off.

He rode just fine, but looks liked a lot of ground work.

Last night I threw the saddle blanket on and off. At first he would move, then he realized that he would get a treat for standing. Last night I got to where I would raise my leg to the make-believe saddle stirrup, jump beside him, and could take the whip and throw it all over him.

He isn't a bad horse, just scared of quick movements. I figured the old owners tried to sneak everything on the horse or do everything half way. :rolleyes: Going to be a real summer, fall project!

Yeah I agree be careful with this guy.:) I would say he needs alot of ground work before you try any mounted work.

I agree take time to work with his ground work first.
