That being said, with my students and while being ridden, I am quiet and helpful, letting them
have an easy going ride to learn on.
My likes: I love attention from people. I love treats and of course food. I also love my new stall which has a window
that I can hang my head over and see everything going on at the barn.

I tend to get fussy if dinner runs late.
'Dillon'
Name: Dillon
Breed: Appendix, Thouroughbred and Quarterhorse mix
Gender: Gelding
Color: Bay
Height: 16.1 Hands
Personality: I am 6 years old and super sweet. I am still green, so I require a confident and aware rider, but I am a hard
worker in the arena. If you can hold a frame, I collect beautifully and I have great transitions. Please be patient -
especially when helping me learn how to stop and hold the halt, because I love to go! I love a good pat on my neck and a
loud "good job" when I do a good job for you.
My likes: Grooming all over, especially a soft face brush on my face and behind my ears. My favorite treats are carrots! I also
love mini love pat massages.
My dislikes: Often times I don't like sudden movements and direct touch on my face unless it's with that soft face brush
mentioned above.
