Amigo is a beautiful, 17 year old, Paint gelding. Amigo means "friend" in the Spanish language and defines Amigo perfectly. He gets along with everyone - people, horses, dogs, chickens, cats, etc. He's just an easy-going horse. I can turn him out with any horse because he doesn't try to be top-horse. He's a follower.
Amigo is an all-around horse - trail rides, western, english, cow-horse, whatever. He's a big, chunky quarter-horse type build so an english saddle looks pretty funny on him; and you won't see me taking him over any jumps!
In Parelli Horsenality, Amigo is a Left-Brained Introvert. He's definitely more Whoa than Go. And when you're riding, he'll buck if you push him too far. He's *highly* food-motivated :D He's easy to work with, doesn't spook or get disturbed easily and wants to get along.
Amigo has been in our family for 10 years or so now; and I've been caring for him the last seven years. He's an easy-keeper. He's my Parelli 'Levels' horse. I can learn Parelli with him. He's forgiving, so it's OK that I'm clumsy and awkard in the beginning. He doesn't care. Once I know what I'm doing, I can work with Romeo, my project horse.
Naturally,
Lauren
