-------------------------------------------------------------------------- Taz has come a long way since his arrival at ASAP over a year ago now. It is very evident that he has fantastic training as a young horse, and
has virtually NO issues under saddle. As his name indicates, he only has a few "isms" which seem to get better
with each passing month. He is difficult to catch if in a large turnout
or pasture. If one were to opt for keeping a halter on him at all times,
it would never be an issue. We choose NOT to do this for safety reasons,
but catching him has not been very challenging. Taz tends to be dominant - and even is head of his small herd of five,
over the infamous Taser Gun! If you have followed Taser, you know that he
has had some herd dominance issues himself, but Taz rules over Tase
(interesting play on words!). Taz will try little tiny games like not standing still while you mount
him, but if you are patient and wait for him, he will stand. He has
gotten over his head shyness in terms of backing up when you go to bridle
him. He takes the bit fairly well (may raise his head up high for a bit
until he knows he won't get away with it), and rides like an absolute
dream. He has been ridden on trails this past year and then has been on tons of
road rides. Most recently, we took him on a four mile ride called "the
loop" where he had to pass barking dogs, chickens, and other horses and
cows, as well as traffic. NO PROBLEMS! It would be so great to see Taz get a good home - will try to attach some
updated pictures. Thanks to Jen Moore for taking the pics and thanks to
Rebecca for riding!
