| thanks.
Are they on the calm side, hot side, nervous? I'm talking about if in good hands, is their general character teachable.

Location: Southeastern Idaho | Ours has a great kind disposition...but has a HUGE engine and a lot of power. So whoever rides the big boy needs to know how to ride and understand that he may move and move quickly. Especially if you ask him too. He loves people and will come find you even in a huge pasture even after being ridden regularly. I wouldn't call him hot.

I had to ask about that one note.. does that mean he sometimes makes moves or spooks when you least expect? lol! I realize colts will be colts but I'm wondering about once they have some saddle time. :) |

| We have one in the barn now to get some roping before he goes to the barrel pen. Yes, great colt. Big, stout made but willing and friendly.

Location: Not Where I Want to Be | The last one I had was pretty willing.
I showed him a video of a barrel race, loaded up and went to town and won a race. That's all the training he ever had.

Location: Southeastern Idaho | Our gelding can be a spook when he is fresh. And when he does its a giant move. Not sure how much of that comes from the sire though, we own his dam and she is kind of a goof ball about stuff like that. My husband uses this horse as his main ranch horse. He doesn't get ridden 5 days a week or anything close. He gets ridden hard 3 times a year and then sporadically everywhere else. No buck. Just a shy once in awhile. |

| I have 4 of them, they are all great. Very trainable, love to turn a barrel. And we rope on them too.

Location: SW North Dakota | I've had two. Neither are spooky. One is 10, I've had him since he was 4. The other I got as a weanling and sold as a 3yo. Both have a LOT of personality, both gentle and willing and athletic. The 10 year old was late to mature mentally. Still likes to play and is a goofball, but acted like a 2 year old until he was 7- no trainability issues, just fresh and silly- had to warm him up more for his brain than his body. The one I sold as a 3yo just went to work. Very mature and sturdy. Both were ranched on, and we head steers off the 10 year old. He loves roping. I really like the LSOFs overall! Neither have been nervous nor "hot." |
