Magic likes human contact and is the type that needs to connect. His ground manners are quite good and he's well started on ground tying. He loves to learn new things and is interested in everything you introduce him to. He has a good mind and has no problem with dogs, bikes, trucks, noises behind the hedge etc. He will step on a pedestal, the rider can open a gate off him and close it too, he doesn’t mind a relaxed bareback ride in the ring and will pull over to the mounting block to let the rider off ! He bathes easily and is excellent for the farrier. Under saddle he reacts to leg and rein aids and he is getting the concept of leg yielding. He is happiest when there are lots of horses around and he doesn’t mind ponies galloping around, horses being lunged beside him, horses coming towards or behind him. He will go off property by himself and every day we go a little further. He's a lovely big horse, 'up in front' with great bone and has a comfortable walk and trot and very nice canter. Magic has a bit of a 'warm blood' look to him. Magic has a past racing injury which precludes him from jumping or being a competition horse.
