Dusk is a as good of a pony as you could ever want for your kids learning to ride or to enjoy. He is absolutely safe and will go anywhere he is asked without hesitation and very easy to ride. He is 11 years old 34 inches. He is broke to ride and drive and is not spooky at all. Traffic safe, goes thru water, over bridges, he rides like a big horse, rides bareback, rides double. And a totally sweetie on the ground kids can climb all over and under him.
