My wife has an old gelding she used to ride in shows. EX. QH on the track, turned barrel horse, turned show horse. The horse could absolutely sky. They found his niche. That horse could flat out jump. But then older and he learned dressage and... The shows bored me to no end. Thankfully they have ended. But the horse is still around. Twenty eight years old and he still bucks and takes off farting in synchrony with his trot. One of the great joys in life. Very bright horse.
