Trail and Showmanship - https://youtu.be/WmS1neB0UU8

Simon is a well trained pleasure horse. He hasn't been shown, but was trained for western pleasure events. He's been used as our trail horse and arena riding horse for the past 8 years. He listens well, rides off your seat nicely and is a very easy ride. He would excel as a lesson horse in an arena setting, as he is very innocent and forgiving. Stops, backs, pivots, sidepasses - he has all the fancy pleasure horse buttons. Knows showmanship as well. He's had beginner riders on him in our arena, but my husband and I have been his main trail riders. He's not a total deadhead, but he's not a game horse either. He will pleasure jog all day long. Left lead is smoother than his right. Loves attention from everyone, greets you at the gate. Loads and hauls well. Stands great for everything, vet and farrier, etc. Very easy keeper on pasture 24/7. Mid to higher in pecking order. If rode consistently or ridden on hard ground, he will need wedges with pads, or something similar, as he might get sore. His front pasterns are straighter. Otherwise he has been mainly barefoot for us. He has not been used much this summer as I'm pregnant, so he is out of shape. But, you can hop on him at anytime and he always remembers his stuff. This guy deserves an awesome home as he's a sweetheart who has been good to us. UTD on teeth, farrier (currently barefoot), 3-way+WN, worming, & rabies. I'd like to get more involved with showing at the MN 50/50 show eventually, and he is not eligible to show there so trying to find a good fit for him.
