here for more information about Charlie
Charlie the Curly is as cute as can be at 14.2 hands and 13 years old. He is located in Redgranite, WI. Charlie loves his food and treats but one needs to be careful not to give him too many sweets or grass because it causes laminitis. He would do best on a dry lot. Charlie is also smart and energetic and talkative. Charlie does lead and lunge well so a variety of groundwork exercises would be great! At this point, he should not be ridden but is greenbroke. Charlie is looking for someone to play with. Are you the one?
