Show experience: halter, jumper, hunter, cross country
Ability notes: can be ridden english or western, neck reins (needs a little work), moves very nicely off leg, jumps over 4 feet, great for beginner through advanced riders, needs crop or spur (is a bit lazy)

Vices: Sometimes Trigger will try to run out of his stall if the door is left slightly open. He thinks it's a game, even though it's not. He also is better on the ground with a chain over his nose ONLY because he sometimes decides he doesn't want to walk forward. We are currently working on this and he is already much better! Occasionally he doesn't want to be caught in the field. but only walks away for a few minutes and then gives up.

About him: Trigger is a sweetheart! He likes to play and is very friendly. He is wonderful on the ground and usually has a lot of respect and awareness for peoples' space (except for the running out of the stall thing). If you are leading him and you stop, he will immediately stop too. He has very correct conformation and great legs (as complimented by our vet!) and has never needed shoes. He has a quirky personality and likes to pick things up in his mouth and stand there with them.
