Cheddar is very cute. I made a long trip with my truck and trailer thinking I would for sure buy a big gelding in a faraway town, but he turned out to be not what I wanted. They also had this pony for sale and I guess I just couldn't stand to drive all the way home with an empty trailer! But I really don't need another pony, and money is tight, so he's for sale.
For a really safe family horse for pleasure and lower level showing, Cheddar is on the cheaper side because he is a bit of a roarer. Since he's not on his way to being in the Olympics or competing at Rolex, it's not really a big deal. :-) But you can hear it from time to time. And he also has chronically goopy eyes. My vet checked him and said horses with his coloration are often going to just always have wet eyes. He cleans up very nicely and is very flashy but I do think it's something that should be considered when deciding his price.

At his last home he did parades and lots of trail riding and they swam on him in the lake and all that. He positively does not ever spook - at least not that we've ever seen. He is very calm. I put him in a month of pro training for just a tune up, and then I've worked with him here too. He's currently being ridden 4 to 5 times per week, and he's doing great. It's so great that he's big enough for adults to ride too, so that he can avoid having just a total pony attitude and get away with out muscling little kids.
He is very gentle and used for lessons here. He never does anything bad like bucking or rearing or biting or kicking, but he is sometimes hard to steer when he gets his mind set about a direction. So for kids who have a bit of strength and know what to do, he's great. (Actually this has only happened once here; it happened a bit more when he had his month of pro training, and apparently happened a lot to his last owners - they told me about it. But it seems with some good training he's really coming along!)
He apparently never loped at his old home, and here at first, even in pro training, he was very hard to get loping. But now, as of last week, he suddenly has more energy and seems to want to lope and has been offering to lope from the trot. I guess he's feeling better! But I don't really know what to say about his natural energy level. A month ago I would have said walk/trot only and on the lazy side, but now, who knows. I think he'd love gymkhana - his calm temperament would be a big plus.
