He was always terrified of lead reins, and although I did lean over him a few times, I knew he had a strong instinct to bolt and decided that I didn't need a dangerous pony to ride. His talents lay in other directions.
He turned out to be a brilliant meeter-and-greeter of humans and other equines alike and after I had clicker trained him I was able to reunite him with the Forest he had left as a foal, taking him for walks, loose, with friends and guests. He also helped wit the rehabilitation of addicts.
He was good at cantering...and jumping too.
