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.  Good with feet.  Accepts a variety of riders but recommended for intermediate riders at this stage.
