Get to Know Chorizo

Chorizo is a little guy with a big personality. He is very quick on his feet and is willing and eager to please. He is working on confidently picking up his feet for the farrier and accepting the saddle to prepare to be ridden. Chorizo would do best with someone that has training experience that wants a young project to start under saddle. Weight Limit: 150 lbs between tack and rider Diet: Grass Hay Known Special Needs/Medical: N/A at this time Training Level: Saddle
