HORSE TERMS
ABOUT SPOT
Spot is a 16.2 hand black and white paint gelding. He was born in 1999. He is quiet when in continuous work and is a very nice mover with absolutly nice gaits.

He likes the summer better than winter, and behaves a lot better in the summer than witner. In the winter he is a very spooky horse without daily work and in the summer he can go without work and not be spooky at all.

Spot is a big, solid individual with a wonderful affectionate personality. Spot is an amazing dressage horse and knows how to use himself well, and would also be a great jumping prospect. Also Spot loves to be cuddled with.
ABOUT US

Spot is the horse that I am now leasing over at Babcock Hill Equestrian Center. He is a nice horse, and the fanciest at the barn. I adore him and love how they are letting me work with him. It's a true fantasy come true to work with a horse this nice.

I love his gaits and how floaty his gaits are. He has a nice rocking horse canter that I love and a nice floaty trot that. His floaty trot is amazing when you sit it and get into it. Also he does jump, but I have not jumped him yet, but my what people say he loves it and has talent for it as well. With them saying that I am guessing that it will be a nice smooth jump, just like everything else he does.

I will also get to show him over the Spring and when show season starts and will be able to do two-phase with him. I love to cuddle with Spot and give him lots of attention as he likes.
