R2 is a 19 year old Thoroughbred gelding that is retired from jumping and used for trail riding. R2 is a 1995 model Canadian thoroughbred. He was a resource for three or four years and placed in the money many times then went on to be a jumper. I started working with him in 2008. He had not been ridden for a long time was barn sour and scared of his shadow. Now he is a solid trail horse. He can be a handful at times; still has his thoroughbred spirit but he is fearless in the face of mountain bikers hikers motorcycles and cars and trucks. And makes a great horse for the trail boss
