He is gorgeous and smooth, fast and flashy. Real sweet on the ground. But he has bolted with my niece twice, and shifted his weight onto his back legs while I was riding. He didn't rear because I just told him no. I think if I had pulled back on the bit, he would have thrown me. Now, I am apprehensive about riding and he knows it. I had a trainer come out and work him for 2 hours. He said he didn't think he was a good fit for my family as I have young children who want to ride. Atleast, he was honest, which is more than I can say about the lady who sold me this horse. A friend rode him and said he may be a little more than greenbroke. He pranced with her, she told him no, and he responded nicely to her. He never gathered like he was going to rear because her mom watched him. He needs a gentle but firm hand of someone with confidence, and I want a child safe horse. We are near Greensboro. Could you offer a trade or any suggestions. Thank you for your time. I have wanted a horse my whole life and this just leaves me sad and discouraged and heartbroken because I love this horse. Heather I just purchased a 7 year TWH Gelding.
