We have owned this gelding over 3 yrs. We did 30 days of ground work in the round pen using the Clinton Anderson method so he has good ground manners. I also rode him all that first summer trail riding in the flint hills and over at Perry Lake. He has been used for moving cattle and pasture roping to doctor cattle. Before we bought him he had 45 days of arena roping on the heel side. Our son-in-law has also done some heeling on him so he just needs finished out. He has also had 30 days of professional barrel training done on him. He is loping the pattern. He has good feet and stands quiet for shoeing.
