⭐17-year-old Welsh, 10 years giving lessons

🍬Favorite Treat: It depends on his mood

😊If he were a famous person, he would be: Danny DeVito

✅"The Mighty Thor" is a 12-hand high ball of lightning! When he first came to us, he was a very difficult ride, but has since settled well and is the absolute best instructor for all riders! He loves beginners and never has to be kicked hard to trot! He teaches everyone that they need to steer to stay on the rail and go into the corners. He has the best canter and teaches everyone what a good pace is. We couldn't run our lesson program without "Scrubbing Bubbles"!
