Pepper is a horse of many personalities. He is mildly left brain extrovert...but has several introvert traits. He's very food motivated, and loves to earn his treats by tucking his head between his legs in an effort to bow.
He does have some confidence issues though, and that's where his right brain tendancies come into play. Mostly with riding, he goes from extream right brain introvert to extream right brain extrovert.
He sometimes has a hard time with circling as he feels tons of pressure with anything more than a walk.
But, Pepper is a very loving forgiving horse who trys to do his best.

About Pepper
Pepper seems to capture the hearts of everyone he meets.
I bought him from a guy who really didn't spend much time with him, and kept him in a corral, sunk in mud, behind what looked like a normal neighborhood. He looked like he deserved so much more, so I brought him home.
Though riding has been a challenge in all the years I've owned him, he never ceases to make me laugh, and force me want to give him a hug and a kiss.
Now that I'm really starting to learn about how horses think, I've been able to be even more understanding of my dear friend, and help him to love people as much as we all love him. He offers more and more everyday, and continues to gain confidence and curiosity.
He's a fat and happy horse who likes his feet dry, his head scratched, and treats always in his bin(he might even stretch down to bow for them now!).
