🐴Classy Bow Ty aka Scout

📍 Folly Farm Show Stables of Simsbury, Connecticut

😊25 year old Paint, 15 years giving lessons

🍬Favorite Treat: Anything you want to share

⭐If he were a famous person, he would be: Justin Bieber

✅Scout is the ultimate lesson pony. He teaches riders humility, but also how to win. Scout makes you work for every last thing that you want him to do, but the moment he walks in the show ring, he is there to win. He teaches our students not to give up, while also teaching that important lesson about what they can do better.
