Otherwise that willing and luke-warmish disposition is perfect for pleasure riding.
Good point, Lynn. Of the handful ( a dozen maybe?) of Warmbloods I've been around, all had that pleasing pleasant temperment. One local woman rides out with us from time to time on a huge Art Decco gelding. He couldn't be a better trail horse. He has a wonderful expression, ears perked foreward with interest, soft kind eye and he uses his body beautifully on the steep trails. Our grandaughter bought a cheap $10,000 colt and brought him along for several years until she sold him recently for the reduced price of $25,000. He was quiet, mannerly and a delight to be around. They're just too expensive and, for me, too big to choose for use primarily as a trail horse. Nancy
