Congrats! I'm sure it's a great feeling knowing you're one step closer to riding your boy.

What breed is he and where did you send him?

Wow, he looks great! His gait looks good and he looks really comfortable being lunged. His little face looks a little put out at being backed, but still he looks good!

Congrats and hope you get to enjoy him -he is a stunner!

He moves so 'fluidly' (is that a word?) for such a big guy! BEAUTIFUL!
love the snowy sides of the arena hand made by mother nature.
