11-yr-old Cody rides Chisel in the Angelina Forest on 3/1/09. This is his FIRST TIME to ride a horse out of the round pen!

Cody made the mistake of getting down to stretch his legs or a moment. It was a looooong way back up there!

He made it! (Chisel waits patiently while Cody tries to get his foot back in the stirrup.)

Chisel's canter is so slow and easy that even a rank beginner can ride it.

Cody, trying to keep an eye on his cousin. Is this "front seat" driving?

Well, his grandpa said to lean back when you're stepping downhill.

And lean forward when you climb up. Cody did remarkably well for his first ride outside of a round pen!

Cruisin' along with naught a care in the world . . .

"Chisel" -- True head-shaking four-beat all-natural barefoot Tennessee Walk and racks, also! Gentle Tennessee Walking Horse 16H 5-yr-old gelding has one of the smoothest gaits that I've ever sat on -- he feels as if you are floating while he is gaiting along, and his canter is just an air ride -- incredible! Chisel is a gentle giant -- the kind you can probably put the whole family on and never see a hair on their heads move. He is sired by The Stonecutter (Pusher/Pride's Royal Master) and out of a Prides John Grey/Threat's Supreme mare. This is one nice, nice big dappled grey horse with good, sensible head. He has hooves of steel -- will hold a shoe forever, but we're riding him barefoot and he's all natural -- gaiting like a dream with no shoes! $3950
