Have had dutchy 2 months now, but got on him for 1st time today. He was poor when we got him and hadnt been ridden for approx 18 months so have taken things slowly and got a bit of weight on him. Was so shocked how well behaved he was forgot to get any pics of him being ridden but got a couple of him on lunge. We dont know much about his past but he must have been schooled properly at some point as it is all there!

Thankyou. He is rather handsome but he is the most difficult horse I have ever had to deal with on the ground. However as soon as you get tack on he turns into an angel so I will put up with his quirks!
 
He has no respect for people or their space. He is not nasty and would never hurt you on purpose and he is really kind but he doesnt seem to realise how big he is (17.2hh!). It takes a few goes to get headcollar on and he cant stand still when tied up so everything takes twice as long. I have kinda got used to him now but you just have to duck from his head and dodge his feet! Makes tacking up fun anyway! He is only just 6 so hopefully will get better with time.
 
He is stunning..He sounds to have the same temp as my 4 yr old ...She is quite difficult on the ground she also nearly 17hh but an angel to ride so all can be forgiven..no respect for my space she wouldnt hurt me but would quite willingly walk over me if she did accidentally knock me over ! She is going through her teenage yrs !! So good luck with him and i am also hoping she grows out of it!! lol
