Fig enjoys working cows and needs a job to keep his interest and focus his energy; otherwise, he gets bored. Not a horse to just mosey down the trail at a slow walk behind another horse. He wants to get out and go somewhere.

Rides trails with water crossings and reservoirs, other natural obstacles like timber, steep inclines and declines, narrow high mountain trails, grassy hillsides where riders spread out all across the mountain. Not nose-to-tail riding except on narrow ridges where it's necessary. Obstacle/confidence courses (bridges, hanging noodles, water features, seesaw, fans and flags, tarps and crunchy plastic bottles over saddle and underfoot.) Drags things, had ropes thrown off him. Been ridden around dogs. Transitions and rates at trot and lope. Sensitive to leg cues. Good with feet.
