After Aramis was returned to Bluebonnet in 2022, we sent him to trainer Sabine Lazo for a training evaluation and tune-up. She says he’s a very smart horse who is forward and has plenty of energy: he definitely does not act his age.

She’s been able to ride him walk, trot, and canter both ways of the arena. He still needs some work on cantering consistently on the correct lead, but he gets it right 80% of the time (it is improving as she’s riding him more and his condition improves). She’s ridden him English and western, ridden over some cross rails, and worked on some ranch and western dressage basics, and ridden him down the road. She’s had an intermediate rider and a timid rider on him, and he’s done well (with supervision). He would be a nice show, pleasure, or trail horse for an experienced rider. He could also do well for an intermediate or timid rider who rides at least semi-regularly with a trainer. And he should keep getting better with each ride!
