Temperament: Elvis is a big, sweet and lovable guy, who is very easy going, laid back and takes most things in his huge
stride. He is good with a herd, not overly high on the pecking order, and tends to like hanging around with people and
see what their doing. He is healthy, fit, and has great solid bone with terrific feet. He is very quick to learn
new things, and really enjoys his training time. He has good ground manners and is safe to be around, but sometimes
doesn't realize how big he is and can be a bit 'in your space'. With some reminding, he becomes very light and
respectful on the lead, and is very willing.
Potential Paths: Elvis would be best suited as a trail horse for someone who wants a solid buddy, and would be
willing to put some 'softening' training into him. At present he is very good and calm on the trails, but does
not have the finesse of working off the leg aids, or being light to the rein cues. He has a wonderful, long ground
covering walk, a very nice forward trot, but has not been cantered much. He does not pace at all, either under
saddle or at free lunge. As he has not been ridden much in the last couple of years, he would do well with a rider
able to be consistent and fair, and help him along with learning to be light on his aid responses and encourage his
willingness to learn new things.
