Tank was a barrel horse before I purchased him. I bought him for my daughter to trail ride with me. She is intimadate by his size, so therefore she will not ride him. I have not rode him much this summer due to working full time. Tank likes to go slow but will go fast if you make him. He is not the dominant horse. He neck rains well and turns on the drop of a dime, and needs no legs pressure at all. Would conside a trade for a well broke paint. That is only 15 hands.
