★ about tesoro: tesoro is, admittedly, a bit on the wild side. with a mischief that got him into quite a few hijinks in his youth, staying a stallion was quickly eliminated as a possibility for tesoro's future. at a rather small size and with his attitude, he was, for lack of better words, a bit of a lost cause to start under saddle; he was only large enough for children to ride, but was deemed not safe enough. however, this wasn't due to ill intent - tesoro is a teddy cob after all, and his inherent desire to please meant that he was still trainable in other ways.
     tesoro is now an indisposable trail companion, especially for long hauls. despite not being a riding pony, he has remarkable strength and endurance. with his long ears, stubborn attitude, and determined sure-footedness, people often joke that tesoro must be a mule. he sure can pack out like one, carrying what looks like a ridiculous amount of gear and somehow keeping up with the group just fine. he'll even show off, pulling ahead of the others and whinnying back at them, almost as if teasing, "hurry up!"

➸ discipline: trail pack pony
