16 hands black tail and mane good build, personality,good,still bonding. He has a special trick, he bows he is quite the special horse he bows when you have a carrot and also gets a carrot between his legs really a neat thing, when you see it. Expo was a retired police horse, from New Haven Connecticut mounted unit. tThe police officer, patrolled him in a park, he also was in parades, on the street. The police officer told me he saved her life on a patrol in the park when an man try to pull her off had a gun. Expo turned his head to the side quickly, and knocked the guy down. Pretty good , so when he was ready to retire the police officer promised to retire him to a farm that would take good care of him. Little did she know it was fate for me to get him. The girl I board him with got a call and she knew I was searching for a horse almost a year. I had got burnt buy a seller at Hollis ranch in NH. The horse I bought was told to me he was pleasure horse was 12yrs old found out he was 7 yrs got him and he bucked me off. Thank goodness, I only hurt my knee, so the fear of getting back to the thing i loved the most was the thing i was most scared of. To get back riding. I was so unhappy, my poor daughter , she had to see me cry and get upset, I had a big void. \i went through 4 horses, nothing was right for me , till i got Expo. I just felt I could trust him, and for 6months now I have been so happy, we still have a way to go but i just love my Expo.
