He was a big dark chestnut standing 16.3 hands and worked with a double split curb and snaffle and a running martingale. Always rode with a forward seat saddle. I miss all my horses.

Jim: Thank you. He was a wonderful horse. He was set up (shod) to rack in the pic but he could shake his head, reach and squat when shod to walk. He was a calm dream around pups teaching them to road to the harness. I have a pic of him somewhere with pups under him with the main lead wrapped around him. He just stopped and waited for me to get em untangled.
