Narnian is extremely people-oriented, almost ridiculously friendly, despite having started off pretty shy of people as a new foal. He is calm, kind, good-natured and sane. I've been driving Narnian more since classes ended, and he is great! I've been tempted to keep him...He has a marvelous long trot, is extremely responsive despite being a beginner, feels like his brain is in gear, and doesn't freak at unexpected events. He desensitizes easily. He will make someone a solid, dependable, interesting horse.
He returned February 13, 2010 from being trained to drive and ride by Wil Slabaugh of Munfordville KY. Wil says he just needs a little more experience and he will be child-safe and bombproof. Wil describes his gaits as smooth, with a very nice extended trot, a solid steady road trot, and a well-organized canter. He never 'came apart' during training, never bucked, and was generally a sweet guy. He has a good mind and a laid-back, easy temperament. Narnian is big boned and will be strong enough to carry a substantial adult. He learns easily--a real pleasure to work with. I usually don't bother to halter him, and lead him by grabbing a hunk of mane. He is easy to bridle and harness, and almost dependable about standing to be hooked up to the cart. He ties, bathes, puts up with fly spraying, stands for the farrier, cross-ties, and loads himself in the trailer, although he thinks a little bribery in his feed pan once he gets in is quite appropriate for such good behavior!
