Amigo is a beautiful, 17 year old, Paint gelding. Amigo means “friend” in the Spanish language and defines Amigo perfectly. He gets along with everyone – people, horses, dogs, chickens, cats, etc. He’s just an easy-going horse. I can turn him out with any horses because he doesn’t try to be top-horse. He’s a follower.
(I know, you’re probably wondering about the orange paint. This picture was taken just prior to Hurricane Rita blowing through TX. We had to prepare the house and the horses. It was scary. Each of the horses were marked with a phone number and a heart, so they could be reunited with us if the worst happened… On a funny note, I suppose this could make a great personal ad. Except I’m married :D)
Amigo is an all-around horse – trail rides, western, english, cow-horse, whatever. He’s a big, chunky quarter-horse type build so an english saddle looks pretty funny on him; and you won’t see me taking him over any jumps!
In Parelli Horsenality, Amigo is a Left-Brained Introvert. He’s definitely more Whoa than Go. And when you’re riding, he’ll buck if you push him too far. He’s *highly* food-motivated 
He’s easy to work with, doesn’t spook or get disturbed easily and wants to get along.
Amigo has been in our family for 10 years or so now; and I’ve been caring for him the last seven years. He’s an easy-keeper.
He’s my Parelli ‘Levels’ horse. I can learn Parelli with him. He’s forgiving, so it’s OK that I’m clumsy and awkard in the beginning. He doesn’t care.
Once I know what I’m doing, I can work with Romeo, my project horse.
Naturally,
Lauren
