Showcase Division: Albert

 12-yr-old QH gelding

14.3 hands

Trainer: Hidewood Horses - Tim Van Dyke

Albert broke a tooth just before starting training and has struggled with weight, but even so they have made good progress. Albert is an easy going and friendly gelding who truly likes people, though can be a bit of a hard keeper. He is good for anyone on the ground and well started under saddle.
