He is a real sweet gelding, perfect teeth, feet are beautiful, stands for bathing (without cross ties or any rope) great with farrier and vet, takes his wormer like candy. Doesn't kick or bite. Has good confirmation. But he has an edgy side to him and HE WON'T LOAD WITHOUT MAJOR EFFORT. He is an Appendix QH/Registered Paint. Is it the throrough bred in him that makes him quirky? I haven't developed the trust in him that I had with my other Paint. He bucked me off 8 weeks ago and i haven't been on him since...he fell asleep with me in the saddle, stopped to yack with a friend. Am I just needing to get back in the saddle? Is there a chat room for this kind of dumb horsey issue? I'm just an occassional trail rider in FL. and I'm too old to be thrown off too often - after this last time, it took me nearly 3 weeks to get my ribs healed enough to sneeze without mega-pain! My last Paint really spoiled me. BTW, I bought him in October - 8 months ago!
