Buddy was given to us as a gift. He was one of two horses that was being tried out by a client to be a husband horse but didn't end up making the cut. 

 

Buddy is a right brain extrovert with a tendency to freeze when asked to do to many things at once. He needs constant reassuring or a "buddy" to go along with him or he might just explode. 

 

 You need to be patient with him or he won't trust you.  He can be quite challenging if you haven't worked with high strung horses.

 

With the proper handling and consistency he is very sweet and willing but is more confident with a confident leader. In the years that he's been in my program he has grown to be more tolerant and does quite well with beginners now.
