Description:

Big Boy is easy to catch. He is easy with his feet and does not need stocks. He stands tied, loads, and unloads good. W/T/C on a soft feel. All 3 gates are smooth. He is traffic safe. He has been desensitized to all sorts of things. He has drug sleds, tarps, logs with him. He has a good backup and side passes in both directions. He works well off leg cues. He spins in both directions.

He is good on the trails and is sure footed. He has no issues going up the biggest hills and taking his time going down steep hills. He crosses water, logs and other obstacles with ease. He has been on several camping trips.

He lowers his head to be haltered and bridled and stands quiet to be tacked. He has good ground manners. He will side pass over to things to be mounted. He will sit down. He enjoys being hosed off. He has no bad habits and is gentle and safe.

Overall, this big ole gelding has a really nice handle and is capable of doing many different things. He has the bone, mind and ability to do well in English, dressage, etc.. I believe he would be an excellent prospect for a mounted police program. He is current on vaccinations, deworming and coggins.
