Roman was a 4 year old pinto gelding raised on the Penticton Reserve. Two Buck (his owner) raises bucking horses and Roman was "tested" in the bucking chute, but he just didn't have the will to buck. So once again, Two Buck asked if I thought he might make a good saddle horse. He seemed to have the right "eye" so I brought him home and began working with him.
Roman was a pretty nervous horse. He was low in the herd, which means the other horses had been bossing him around his whole life, so I had to get his trust first.
After a week of ground work, getting him to accept the saddle pad, saddle and bosal and learning to lunge, I began riding him.
Roman was sold after 30 days of training.
