Evaluation and Training
Matthew competed in the training challenge in 2022 where he was being handled and trained by a child (with adult supervision). He is easy to catch, lead, and load in a trailer. He stands tied and is good to groom, good for the farrier, and good for fly spraying. He lungs and line drives, and his young handler has introduced him to obstacle work. He’s going to be a great pet and companion and he could be trained to pull a cart or used for in hand obstacle competitions!
