barrel racing and pole bending. Tried weastern pleasure...did not work out (he likes to run!!)Does not do great in western showmanship, doesnt normaly trot when you are not on him. I tried jumping with him he did good but i didnt want him to get hurt. He is a great trail horse, goes over anything and trough anything. He is also a 4-H horse, he loves to be around other horses!
