I would love to find a good way to rate him a lot better, but so far have been unable to. We have had dressage lessons (the instructor told me my paso was a good little dressage horse.), we have tried different bits, we have tried hackamores, we have tried natural horsemanship, we on occasion have just played tug-o-war (he wins everytime).
