So, I have been looking for a new project pony and I found this... Needless to say Im hesitant. The horse can do all that, and hes 3? Im also fairly certain Ive seen a very similar horse at horse shows 4 years ago. Could be his sire or dam? They could be lying? Honestly I dunno what to think here. It just seems really fishy to me. Too good to be true lol. I have contacted them for more info as well. |

He definitely looks like a 3 year old to me. He's butt high, and not really incredibly broke. Looks like a nice little pony |

Looks like a well-started baby to me. :) My trainer starts her babies around 2 YO for the futurity. Within a few months, they can do all that, understand the idea of working a flag, follow a cow, stop well, etc. Personally, I wouldn't be jumping too much at that age but it may have just been for the video.
While he looks well-started, you have to also keep in mind and be realistic that he's still fairly young and has a lot to still be exposed to and definitely needs LOTS more miles. |

Totally agree, I'm just shocked because... well I've never seen a 3 year old this broke. Most of them (in my area) go for 2k or less, with hardly any ground work done. He seems perfect!! If only I could afford him... XD |

I had a 2 yr old pony mare I had going better than this just a couple months ago. It just depends on the horses development and the amount of time the trainer puts into them! |

Welshes and QHs are also known for being very very smart, levelheaded, and trainable. What he can do doesn't surprise me a lot, though I would be concerned about his joints later on down the road. |
