Well, little did I know he was going to give me a run for my money when it came to tying. Or so it seemed… After letting this new horse settle in for about a week or two I decided to throw a saddle on him and ride. I recently purchased a new horse! Everything was going great when I got him home! He stalled great, fit in well with the other horses, everything was perfect.
