Jack's history is lost to us.  We suspect he is a Thoroughbred or Standardbred off the track and he is approx. 11 years old.
 
His negatives are: He has a bump on one front knee that doesn't seem to affect him to much, he likes to toss his head and he's not spectacular at stopping.

His positives are: He has excellent ground manners for saddling and picking up his feet.  He has a lot of go.  He loves to run.  He is gorgeous.  

We are working him in a full cheek snaffle.  He rides very decent in an elasticized tiedown.  We are working at softening his mouth with lots of turning and stopping at the walk and trot.  He can be ridden bareback at a walk and trot.  We have not loped him yet and will not until he is responding well to the bridle.  He is easy to control and turns well.  If you ask him to stop and he does not stand still he turns with very little bit pressure.   He is suited for a rider who likes to go!

THE ONE TO TEN SCALE - 1 BEING POOR - 10 BEING EXCELLENT.
N/A means we haven't tried it or worked with the horse with that aspect yet.
These numbers will change as we work with the horse.  With this particular horse he is catching on quickly and should improve his numbers quite quickly as well.
