He is the same gelding inside the arena or outside on the trail. He always tries to please. He has been on the cutting machine a few times and it wouldn't take much to be a ranch cutter.

Ali Bilkey has been breakaway roping on him the last six months and with his speed and big stop, it comes very easy for him.
