Hitman arrived on my doorstep because his owner no longer has time to ride him. He hasn't been ridden in the past year and we were able to saddle him up and head on out. That speaks volumns for his personality.
We went out today to shut gates in some pastures. Hitman has a great walk on him and really moves out. He didn't mind the dogs running around him and he didn't spook or shy at anything on the ranch, all new surroundings for him. Pretty good for his first ride in a year!
Here's Hitman standing in the barn at the end of the day. The other horses like to stand with their heads out the door at the other end so they can see their penmates. Hitman actually turned around and stood this way on his own and explored the barn. He didn't neigh or freak out and was calm enough to lower his head and let me cut his bridle path.
I'm very excited to have Hitman join the family and you can look for him to be a camp favourite this summer!
