Buddy is a perfect name for this handsome youngster with a remarkably calm demeanor. It's obvious that you are setting him up for success with the way you are raising him. ❤

What a sweet youngster 😍 How can he be that calm at his age alone and away from his mother and buddies?

This information literally deserves 5 stars - I can’t tell you how many starter type videos I have watched that were supposed to be demonstrating the trainers high level of expertise and experience and instead it was instructional in demonstrating exactly what not to do. That colt was so well mannered - he trusted you - he tolerated a moment of not understanding and could very comfortably work to the solution - after he found the solution- end of that lesson - chef’s kiss - perfection

Gentle & slow with the colt, it’s nice to see. He will be a very reliable pony
