Good confidence building. Looks like a lovely horse. Mine I don't think had a start with gentle hands like yours and is a bit rough but wasnt ridden until she was 16. You'd love it down here in New Zealand the Maoris let their horses run wild in the bush along East coast into Te Uruwera and they breed very hardy sure footed resilient and when handled very calm and bomb proof. Mine took one day to be able to shoot a rifle off her back without her worrying about it.
