I was told by a few trainers that they buck to high heaven. So I sent mine off to a trainer for 6 months. She still had some buck in her when she got back but she was easy to train on the barrels. She is so sweet, wants to try but on her own terms. I did a lot of ground work with her as a baby so I think that helped. She is so fun to ride and she too gets loads of compliments on her looks! If I got another ASOF, I'd make sure a lot of ground work was established. They are amazing!
Shes a beauty
A very good friend of mine has an own son out of a Smart Little Lena mare and he is stunning, talented, athletic, highly trained with a reining handle, and a complete a**hole 80% of the time. He bucked consistently until he was 5 and still does it every now and then; will ride around perfectly fine most of the ride and then randomly break in half for no reason. He spooks at everything he should be okay with and is fine around most things he should spook at. He has been gelded several years and still acts like a stud around mares and is mouthy and bites like one (she has had his hormones tested and they are exactly as they should be for a gelding). She did not have him tested for PSSM but changed his diet as if she were managing it and he improved a little bit, but he is still very inconsistent day to day. As much as I admire the good ones ASOF's, I don't think that I'll ever own one myself.
