Meet Tattoo The Appaloosa, A Horse With Leopard Spots As Cool As Him

What is his personality like?
Completely chill, goofy and mischievous. I was taught growing up that young horses are very spontaneous and can be dangerous, but Tattoo is one of the coolest horses I have ever ridden and been around. Ever since he was a baby learning to halter, he has been insanely curious so even now when we are riding or leading, he wants to investigate everything he can. His eyes will be wide, his body relaxed and his ears perked at whatever has caught his attention. Its surprising to say that he is not spooky, just really curious and he wants to touch things with his nose and sniff it! It surprises many people to see how goofy, antsy and awkward he is when I am on the ground next to him, but the minute I sit into the saddle, he is a completely different horse. His mellow, curious side comes out and he is ready to work, but is calm, collected, and concentrated. His mind is going so fast, that there is no “rests”, he wants to keep working and trying new things under saddle. His favorite riding class is trail, he loves to smell and touch every obstacle and watch where his feet are going, even though we would get penalties for touching obstacles!
