He's an outstanding mover with a great jump, and everybody says Aubrey should take him out East... until she invites them to get on him and try him out. The only horse she's ever actually owned, and he is (there's no better word for it) an ass. It's probably why she picked him up cheap when he was four and just started under saddle. Aubrey's been trying to sell him from the get-go, but she can't get far because he's just too hard to ride for people who don't know his every quirk. It's a long list. His canter transitions border on bucking if you don't drive him forward. If he gets too forward in trot without a sufficient degree of collection, he trips over himself and actually falls down 50% of the time. He sucks back in the bridle if he's ridden in anything stronger than a dee-ring snaffle and there is nothing you can do to fix it. He is terrified of flowers, small ponies, and strollers. He swaps leads on straight lines. He would much prefer to break to trot than do a flying change on command from right to left lead. He shortens his stride and jumps from long spots if you leave him alone on the approach to a fence. But hey. Aubrey makes him look good, and his good is damn good. mikey is a lady killer?! of caution 2.0 |
